Cucumber and Avocado Salad with Chili Lime Dressing

Ingredients

• 6 Mini cucumbers (sliced)
• 2 Avocados (ripe but firm, cubed)
• 3 Green onions (sliced)
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 2 tbsp Light olive oil
• 2 tbsp Fresh lime juice
• 0.5 tsp Red chili flakes
• Salt (to taste)

Steps

1. 1

   In a small jar or glass, whisk together the light olive oil, fresh lime juice, red chili flakes, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, add the sliced cucumbers, cubed avocado, green onions, and chopped cilantro.

3. 3

   Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently until everything is well coated.

4. 4

   Taste and adjust salt if necessary.

5. 5

   Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

For best results, use avocados that are ripe but still feel firm to the touch so they hold their shape when tossed. This is an ideal side dish for grilled meats or barbecues.
