Ingredients
For the Salad:
2 avocados, peeled, pitted, and chopped
1 English cucumber, partially peeled and chopped (10.5 oz / 300 g)
1 cup feta cheese, cubed or crumbled (150 g)
1/2 cup fresh dill, plucked or chopped (20 g)
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (45 ml)
1 lemon, juice and zest divided
Salt and black pepper, to taste
To Serve:
Boston lettuce leaves
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh dill and lemon zest for garnish
Instructions
Chop avocados into bite-sized pieces and cube cucumber. Place in a medium mixing bowl.
Add feta cheese and dill. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Drizzle with olive oil and add half the lemon juice and zest. Toss gently to combine.
Arrange Boston lettuce leaves on a serving plate. Spoon salad mixture onto the leaves.
Finish with extra lemon juice, salt, pepper, dill, and lemon zest. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use just-ripe avocados to avoid mushiness.
Add radishes or bell peppers for extra crunch.
Prep cucumber and feta ahead of time, but add avocado and lemon just before serving.
For extra texture, sprinkle toasted pine nuts or sunflower seeds on top.
