Cucumber Avocado Salad


This refreshing salad takes not more than 15 minutes to prepare.It is filling,quick to prepare and yet delicious.I would definitely do it often in summer.I have used my home made dressing with simple ingredients like olive oil,lemon juice,salt and black pepper.
Cucumber and Avocado salad is good when prepared fresh because the cucumber used in the salad leaves out water after it has been cut for sometime and even the avocados aren't good to be kept cut for a long time.

Ingredients,
Organic English Cucumber- 1 (2 cups of cucmber cut into small cubes with skin peeled)
Avocado- 1/2 (cut into same size as the cucumbers)
Kalamata Olives- 4-5
Crumbled Feta Cheese- A few (alternate with goat cheese ,blue cheese any cheese you like )
Cilantro- 1 tablespoon (chopped)
Olive oil- 1 tablespoon
Lemon juice- 1 teaspoon
Salt and pepper- a dash


  1. Peel the cucumber skin and cut into small cubes (if using organic then you can keep some of the skin if you want to)
  2. Cut half of the avocado into the same sizes as cucumber.
  3. Take a large bowl and add the cucumber slices and the avocado slices,add chopped cilantro and olives.
  4. In a separate bowl mix olive oil,lemon juice and salt and black pepper.Mix well
  5. Pour this dressing on the cucumber and avocado slices.
  6. Finally garnish with crumbled feta cheese.
