Servings: 2

Ingredients

Salad:
• 3 medium cucumbers, thinly sliced
• 3 green onions (scallions), finely chopped
• 2 ripe avocados, cut into medium cubes
• Small bunch of fresh cilantro (about ½ cup chopped)
Dressing:
• 1 tablespoon Dijon or whole-grain mustard
• Juice of ½ lime (about 1–1½ tablespoons)
• 70 ml (⅓ cup or 5 tablespoons) olive oil
• Salt to taste
• Red pepper flakes to taste (start with ¼–½ teaspoon)

Cooking Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the thinly sliced cucumbers, chopped green onions, avocado cubes, and cilantro.

In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the mustard, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and red pepper flakes until smooth and slightly emulsified.

Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine. Be careful not to mash the avocado too much.

Taste and adjust seasoning — add more lime, salt, or chili flakes if desired.

Chef's Note
