Avocado Cucumber Salad

May 10, 2016

Refreshing, bright and tangy Avocado Cucumber Salad. Ready in less than 10 minutes with a simple lemon-lime, cilantro dressing. As soon as the weather starts warming up, my body starts to craveeeeee salads.

Avocado Cucumber Salad

Because everybody could use some salad and greens after ice cream, Cinco de mayo and Mother’s day all in the span of one week. What have you guys been up to?! J’s family came to visit this past week from Belgium and we had an event-filled week visiting Toronto, laughing over good food and aperitifs in the evening (that vegan bacon though…), and celebrating J’s birthday. And now my body and mind are ready for some salad.

Bright and refreshing salads like this Avocado Cucumber Salad.

Do you remember my Mediterranean Cucumber Tomato Salad from last Spring?! It quickly turned out to be my #1 salad recipe on the blog. SIMPLE salad recipes are always a hit and are my go-to all Spring and Summer long. This Avocado Cucumber Salad is no different. It is a family favorite in my kitchen. I could eat it every night and not get tired of it. I mean, this salad could not get any easier…

Cut and scoop the avocado. This is my favorite part.  ↓ ↓ ↓

Cucumber Avocado Salad - How to cut an avocado

Add the cucumber, cilantro and lemon-lime dressing. Lightly toss…

Avocado Cucumber Salad

And dig in!! I told you this Avocado Cucumber Salad could not get any easier.

I like to leave the salad to “marinate” for 5 to 15 minutes while I prepare the rest of dinner. The flavors of the creamy avocado, refreshing cucumber, tangy lime, cilantro and sea salt come together and complement each other just perfectly. The avocado seems to get creamier and the lime tangier the longer everything sits and the flavors mingle. If you do make this Avocado Cucumber Salad at home, snap a photo and tag me #CearasKitchen on instagram or a leave a comment below. I love hearing your feedback guys! #EatHappyLiveHappy

Refreshing, bright and tangy Avocado Cucumber Salad. Ready in less than 10 minutes with a simple lemon-lime, cilantro dressing.
Author: Ceara
Recipe type: Side
Ingredients
  • 1 large cucumber, sliced in quarters
  • 2 avocados, chopped
  • ¼ - ½ cup cilantro, chopped
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • ½ tsp sea salt
Directions
  1. Place chopped cucumber, avocado, and cilantro in a medium bowl. If you are not a fan of cilantro, start with using only ¼ cup.
  2. Add lemon juice, lime juice, and sea salt to the chopped vegetables. Toss gently to combine. Taste and add additional cilantro (I use the entire ½ cup) and sea salt to taste. Leave to sit and "marinate" for 5 - 15 minutes. Serve fresh with your favorite Summer meal.
Notes
Based off my Mediterranean Cucumber Tomato Salad.

I only altered the recipe by adding a chopped scallions. It was really delicious and my dinner guest agreed.

I’ve been making this for years but I just use the juice of a fresh lime, no lemon and I also add cherry tomatoes sliced in half, it’s so delicious…I actually use garlic salt rather than sea salt, it;s always a hit. Even if you don’t have cilantro, it’s still delicious and so simple!

Sounds delish. I’m gonna serve it with fish

I can not find the lemon=lime cilantro dressing recipe.

This looks SO good! I wish my sweetheart could swallow cilantro. Fortunately, I love the stuff and this salad will make a wonderful lunch a few days this week, along with a quick veggie wrap. Pinning.
