Some Tips For You
Top the cucumber avocado salad with any protein, or enjoy with Tacos, fajitas, etc. to make a full meal.
Do not overly toss the avocado cucumber salad because of the avocado, unless you want to get the texture of guacamole!
Look for an avocado that is firm yet gives a little when gently squeezed. If the avocado is hard, it’s not ready to eat yet so keep it for another recipe. You can ripen your avocados on the counter for about 2-4 days, depending on the room temperature. You can keep your unripened avocados until you are ready to ripen them.
This cucumber avocado salad recipe will keep well for 3 to 4 days stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Note that avocado will eventually turn brown after a day or two.
