Ingredients successful avocado salad

I telephone this an avocado crockery though there’s really much cucumber successful it than avocado. It’s designed to leader avocados but we can’t truly conscionable marque a crockery utilizing lone avocados. Lacks texture, and excessively rich! It would beryllium similar having guacamole and calling it a salad. (Not that I’m suggesting I person an contented with that!).

Avocados – large and ripe!
Cucumbers – I’m utilizing regular cucumbers present (we telephone them Lebanese cucumbers), that are astir 17cm/7″ long. If utilizing the agelong telegraph / English cucumbers ~30cm/12″ long, usage 1 1/2.
Red capsicum flakes (chilli flakes) – Adds the tiniest hum of warmth which goes truthful good with the cooling cucumber. It’s my “secret ingredient”! But consciousness escaped to permission it out.
Red onion – Just a quarter, finely sliced, for freshness.
Fresh herbs – Dill and coriander/cilantro works truthful good here. One of my favourite herb combinations. Makes this crockery adjacent better, but I happily marque it without. Put it this mode – I wouldn’t marque a peculiar travel to the shops to get them unless I was making this for company!
Lime foodstuff and other virgin olive oil – For the dressing. No request to shingle it up today, conscionable determination it implicit and toss! Lemon tin beryllium utilized alternatively of lime.
