Salad Ingredients
- 2 large avocados, diced into ¼-inch pieces
- 6 mini cucumbers, diced on a bias into ¼-inch pieces (approx. 2 cups)
- ¼ cup loosely packed fresh dill, finely chopped
- 2 ounces feta cheese, finely crumbled
- 2 lemons, juiced (approx. ¼ cup)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt & ground black pepper, to season
Instructions
- Cucumber avocado salad assembly: In a large bowl, combine the diced mini cucumbers, finely chopped fresh dill, crumbled feta cheese, lemon juice, and extra virgin olive oil.
- Season and mix: Season the mixture with ½ teaspoon kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Fold in avocado: Gently fold in the diced avocado, being careful not to mash it, just until combined with the other ingredients.
- Taste and adjust seasoning: Taste the salad and add additional kosher salt and ground black pepper if desired for balanced flavor.
- Serve immediately: Serve the salad right away, garnished with extra fresh dill and lemon zest if desired. This salad pairs excellently with grilled lemon chicken or Greek chicken wings and makes a delightful potluck dish or a quick weeknight side.
Notes
- To preserve the bright green color of the avocado, fold it in gently and serve the salad immediately after preparation.
- For added zest, sprinkle lemon zest on top as a garnish just before serving.
- This salad is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 1 day; the avocado may discolor slightly upon standing.
- Mini cucumbers can be substituted with regular cucumbers peeled and seeded if needed.
