A combination of ingredients that just works together so well.

I love how the avocado becomes sort of smeary when you toss it, essentially becoming a creamy dressing.

Its designed to hero avocados but we cant really just make a salad using only avocados.

Avocados big and ripe!

Cucumbers Im using regular cucumbers here (we call them Lebanese cucumbers), that are around 17cm/7 long.

If using the long telegraph / English cucumbers ~30cm/12 long, use 1 1/2.

But feel free to leave it out.

Red onion Just a quarter, finely sliced, for freshness.

Fresh herbs Dill and coriander/cilantro works so well here.

One of my favourite herb combinations.

Makes this salad even better, but I happily make it without.

Lime juice and extra virgin olive oil For the dressing.

No need to shake it up today, just pour it over and toss!

Lemon can be used instead of lime.

Favourite Avocado Salad on toast

Thats completely accurate!!!

No need to make the dressing separately for this recipe!

Toss wellusing your hands, gently separating the avocado and cucumber slices.

Tumble into a bowl and serve!

This is first and foremost intended to be a side salad.

But dont restrict yourself!
