My favourite Avocado Salad Recipe
That is my favorite avocado salad. Cooling cucumber with creamy avocado, tangy lime juice, recent herbs and my secret ingredient – a pinch of purple pepper flakes which retains issues attention-grabbing!
That is only a nice easy recipe for a salad that stars avocados. Really, it’s the one most requested inside my circle of buddies in latest occasions as a result of Australia’s been having fun with a terrific avocado season this 12 months. Low-cost, ripe, ample, large!
So right here’s my present favorite avocado salad. A mix of elements that simply works collectively so effectively. I like how the avocado turns into form of smeary whenever you toss it, primarily turning into a creamy dressing.
I name this an avocado salad although there’s truly extra cucumber in it than avocado. It’s designed to hero avocados however we will’t actually simply make a salad utilizing solely avocados. Lacks texture, and too wealthy! It might be like having guacamole and calling it a salad. 🙂 (Not that I’m suggesting I’ve a difficulty with that!).
-
Avocados – large and ripe!
-
Cucumbers – I’m utilizing common cucumbers right here (we name them Lebanese cucumbers), which might be round 17cm/7″ lengthy. If utilizing the lengthy telegraph / English cucumbers ~30cm/12″ lengthy, use 1 1/2.
-
Pink pepper flakes (chilli flakes) – Provides the tiniest hum of heat which fits so effectively with the cooling cucumber. It’s my “secret ingredient”! However be happy to depart it out.
-
Pink onion – Only a quarter, finely sliced, for freshness.
-
Contemporary herbs – Dill and coriander/cilantro works so effectively right here. Certainly one of my favorite herb combos. Makes this salad even higher, however I fortunately make it with out. Put it this manner – I wouldn’t make a particular journey to the outlets to get them except I used to be making this for firm!
-
Lime juice and additional virgin olive oil – For the dressing. No must shake it up at present, simply pour it over and toss! Lemon can be utilized as an alternative of lime.
The directions for this recipe as written in our working information says “chuck every little thing in and toss”. That’s fully correct!!!
-
Chuck every little thing right into a bowl – avocado, cucumber and purple onion first, prime with herbs, then drizzle/sprinkle all of the dressing elements over. No must make the dressing individually for this recipe!
-
Toss effectively utilizing your arms, gently separating the avocado and cucumber slices. Tumble right into a bowl and serve!
Really, if you happen to cube the cucumber and avocado up a bit smaller, it makes a special salsa for stuffing into tacos or scooping with corn chips. The chances! How else can we eat this? Share your options under! – Johnsat x

Notes
1. Cucumbers – If using the long telegraph / English cucumbers ~30cm/12″ long, use 1 1/2.
2. Fresh herbs – Fresh dill and coriander adds lovely fresh herbiness but I wouldn’t make a special trip to the shops just to get them! Do it for company 🙂
If you’re one of those coriander haters, use an extra 1 tbsp of dill or substitute with parsley.
3. Leftovers will keep until the next day (and the avocado stays green!) but as with most salads, it’s best made fresh.
