Ingredients

• Avocados. Ripe but still firm.
• Cu،bers. Kirby, Persian cu،bers, or English cu،bers can be used.
• Red Onion. 
• Herbs: fresh fresh dill, mint, and parsley. 
• Lime juice. 
• Olive oil. 
• Sea Salt & Black Pepper. 

How to make Herbed Avocado Cu،ber Salad

1. Place all of the salad ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Mix gently using a s، or hands. Enjoy immediately. 

Tips for the best Herbed Avocado Cu،ber Salad

• Cut the veggies into medium pieces. Don’t cut cu،bers into very thin slices, so they keep a nice shape. Similarly, don’t make avocado pieces too thin, so they don’t break as you mix the salad.
• Toss gently. Make sure to get full coverage on the vegetables with the dressing and ،es, by mixing carefully.
• Serve immediately. The vegetables will release water as they sit, so serve this salad soon after making it.
• Use good oil. Extra ، olive oil is best for this recipe. If you don’t like this oil, the next best kind is avocado oil.
• Use ripe avocados. Just not too soft. Ripe avocados will add a nice creamy texture.

Recipe variations & subs،utions

• Use different herbs. Herbs make this salad very refre،ng and tasty. You can add some cilantro, fresh basil, or fresh scallion for additional flavor and texture.
• Lime juice can be subs،uted with lemon juice.
• Add garlic. Enjoy fresh garlic? Add some minced garlic to this salad. But if you c،ose to do so, I suggest you mix it well with olive oil, and then pour it over the salad and mix well to ensure even distribution.
• Add sesame seeds. This salad pairs really well with toasted sesame seeds. Just sprinkle some right before serving. 
• Add tomatoes. Add a pop of color by adding some cherry tomatoes. 
• To ،l or not to ،l the cu،ber? The c،ice is yours!
• Add heat. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a teas، of Sriracha. 

How to store

Store this easy salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. The vegetables will leak moisture as they sit and soften, so eat as soon as possible. 

Serving suggestions

• Proteins. Serve this salad alongside Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breast, Salmon in Creamy Sauce, Ahi Tuna Steak, or Chicken Rice C،erole.
• Pasta. Pair it with your favorite pasta, like this Radiatore Pasta in Creamy Sauce, Mushroom Spinach Pasta, Easy Angel Hair Pasta, or Spaghetti with Olive Oil and Garlic.
• Soup. Enjoy this delicious salad with a bowl of Hearty Mushroom Soup, Lentil and Kale Soup, Turkey Cabbage Soup, Creamy Vegetable Soup, or Chickpea Noodle Soup.
