You need just 6 core ingredients (plus a little salt) to make this super green, fresh cucumber avocado salad:
Cucumber: use the variety because they're extra crunchy and have less water in them than regular cucumbers.
Avocado: we're going to add creamy chunks of avocado to this salad.
Avocado: we're going to add creamy chunks of avocado to this salad.
Jalapeño: You guys know I love a little heat, so in went a finely diced jalapeño. You could also swap the jalapeño for red pepper flakes, or add both if you're looking for extra spice!
Lime juice & salt: this salad doesn't have a real "dressing," so to speak; instead, we're tossing the veggies and herbs in some fresh lime juice and salt. It's really all you need for a delicious side!
Cut the smashed halves into 1-inch pieces at a 45-degree angle and add to a large bowl.
Taste the salad and add more salt if you’d like, then serve it up! If you’re waiting to serve it, store the salad in the fridge.
