A Delicious Summer Salad

I love summer because of the fresh produce and salads. Although we frequently make avocado or cucumber salads, in this recipe, we combine the two to create the ideal crisp side dish.

This fresh dill dressing is not only simple to create, but it also has a milder flavor than the creamier or sour cream/Greek yogurt-based dressings I usually use for cucumber salad.

Use of Cucumbers in this Avocado Salad

Although any type of cucumber would work in this recipe for avocado salad, I prefer to use a long English cucumber (or seedless cucumber). They are an excellent complement because they often have skin that is thinner and fewer seeds.

English cucumbers don’t need to be peeled, but you can if you want.

Other – Field cucumbers frequently have thicker skins, making it possible to peel them if desired and remove the seeds with a spoon.

Tips

You’re going to adore this Cucumber Avocado Salad if you’re searching for a tasty and straightforward dish to enjoy.

Avocados

The avocado should be cut into cubes and immediately mixed with a little lemon juice to prevent browning (and adds flavor).
Use fresh lemon juice because the flavor of the components in this recipe depends on them. Juices in bottles may leave a bitter taste in the mouth.

Dressing

You might not need the entire amount of dressing depending on the size of your cucumbers and avocados. A little at a time, stir it in a mason jar.
If you have any leftovers, they taste great over a tossed salad and keep for about a week in the refrigerator.

Onions

I adore the taste that red onion (and a tiny bit of color) contribute to this cucumber avocado salad.
You can easily add delicious white onions if you don’t have red onions. Use white papery-skinned onions instead of the more common yellow varieties; they are milder and sweeter.
While prepping the cucumbers and avocado, soak the onion in cold water to reduce some of the “bite” and make it gentler. Optional

Eat it Right Away!

Although the lemon juice will prevent the avocado from turning brown for a few hours, it is better to eat this dish right away.

Cook all the ingredients minus the avocado if you want to prepare this ahead of time or store leftovers. The avocado should be added just before serving.

Avocado and lemon juice should be gently combined in a medium basin.

20 minutes before serving, chill.

Notes

Lemon juice added to the avocado prevents it from turning brown and gives it a taste. For the finest flavor, use fresh lemon juice.

Red onions can be swapped out for white onions. In this salad, yellow onions are excessively strong and are not advised.

To lessen the “bite,” soak the onions in a small amount of ice water (and make it milder). Optional

You might not need the entire amount of dressing, depending on the size of your avocados and cucumbers. Over a tossed salad, leftovers are a great addition.
