Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large fresh cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 2 ripe avocados, cubed

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
  • Fresh dill or cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by washing the cucumbers thoroughly and slicing them thinly using a sharp knife or mandoline.

  6. Sprinkle chopped dill or cilantro on top for added freshness and flavor.
  7. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest taste and crunch.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Drizzle additional lemon juice over the salad to prevent browning.
  • For added texture and flavor, consider topping with chopped nuts or toasted seeds.
  • This salad pairs beautifully with grilled meats, vegetarian dishes, or can be enjoyed as a light standalone meal.
