  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 2 ripe avocados, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: cherry tomatoes, sliced

Instructions

  1. Start by washing the cucumbers thoroughly. Slice them thinly using a sharp knife or a Fullstar Ultimate Veggie Prep Master for quick, uniform slices. Similarly, chop the red onion and dill, and dice the ripe avocados carefully to prevent bruising.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt or sour cream with lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth. For vegan options, use coconut or almond-based yogurt.
  3. Gently fold the sliced cucumbers, diced avocados, red onion, and dill into the creamy dressing, ensuring everything is evenly coated. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  4. Transfer the salad to a serving dish. Garnish with extra dill or cherry tomatoes for added color and flavor. Serve immediately or chill briefly for a more refreshing experience.

Notes

  • Use ripe avocados for best creaminess and flavor.
  • Adding a splash of lemon juice just before serving helps prevent browning of avocados.
  • For added crunch, incorporate nuts like walnuts or sunflower seeds.
  • Experiment with herbs such as basil or cilantro for varied flavor profiles.
