Avocado-Cucumber Salad

Avocado Cucumber Salad

I have been searching my cookbook collection for a salad recipe. I came across the avocado-cucumber salad from “The Full Plate” by Ayesha Curry. I prepared it without any modifications.

This dish is quick and simple to make. It also packs flavor like guacamole. It gives me creaminess, crunch, and acid with a hint of sweetness. What more can a girl want!?!

I’m putting this salad in my weekly dinner rotation. I love it!

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

2 large Hass avocados, pitted, peeled, and cubed
1 English cucumber, diced
1 small shallot, minced
¼ cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro leaves
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
½ teaspoon brown sugar
¾ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste

PREPARATION

  1. In a medium salad bowl, combine the avocado, cucumber, shallot, and cilantro.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, brown sugar, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pour over the salad and toss gently to combine; season with additional salt and pepper.
  4. Serve right away.
