Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by washing and peeling the cucumbers if desired, then slice them into bite-sized pieces. Next, cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Dice the avocado into chunks, being careful not to mash it, as the Cucumber Avocado Salad should maintain a lovely texture. Combine the diced cucumbers and avocados in a large mixing bowl, making sure the colors contrast beautifully.
  2. In a small mason jar or bowl, add the fresh lime juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Secure the lid on the jar, or whisk vigorously if using a bowl, until the mixture is well combined and emulsified.
  3. Gently pour the lime dressing over the salad ingredients in the mixing bowl. With clean hands or a large serving spoon, gently toss the cucumbers and avocados together to coat them evenly without crushing the avocado. Once thoroughly mixed, the salad is ready to serve.
