Fresh summery avocado and cucumber salad to lighten up your warm nights. A quick easy salad packed with delicious flavours!
Another recipe perfect for these warm nights! During summer I’m a big fan of large fresh salads along my protein, especially when we make a BBQ. This salad is an ideal side to have with such meals. Apart from it being extremely easy to prepare and with few ingredients, the salad is packed with fresh flavours.
How to make this avocado and cucumber salad?
This is one of the easies salads you can ever make! Start by prepping my avocado and cucumbers. I like to chop mine into equal pieces, however, you can do any shape that you like! I would recommend to make them as bite sizes though. Slice the green onions thinly. Once the vegetables are prepped, add them to a large bowl. Add in the other ingredients and mix well until everything is combined. The salad should have a glossy shine to it and the avocado should break up slightly. Serve the salad immediately once ready. However, if you are preparing it in advance, cover the bowl tightly and store in the fridge. Make sure that the salad is well mixed so that the avocado doesn’t start to brown!
