Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Wash your ingredients thoroughly. Slice the English cucumbers into thin rounds and dice the ripe avocado into bite-sized pieces. Chop the green onions and gather in a medium salad bowl.
Gently combine sliced cucumbers, diced avocado, and chopped green onions in the bowl, avoiding mashing the avocado.
In a small bowl, whisk together freshly squeezed lime juice and extra virgin olive oil until well blended.
Drizzle the lime dressing over the salad mixture and sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Gently toss the ingredients together and serve immediately for optimal freshness.
