Instructions

Slice cucumbers and add to a large salad bowl.
Dice avocados and gently add them in.
Toss in thinly sliced red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Pour dressing over salad, toss gently to coat.
Sprinkle cilantro on top and serve immediately.

Notes

Use firm, ripe avocados to avoid mushiness.

Chill cucumbers before slicing for extra crunch.

Soak onions in cold water for 5 minutes if too sharp.

Add cherry tomatoes, feta (if not vegan), or chili flakes for variation.

Best eaten fresh—avocado browns quickly.
