Cucumber Avocado Salad

There’s something irresistibly refreshing about the combination of creamy avocado and crisp cucumber. This salad is light, full of simple, vibrant flavours, and perfect for a sunny lunch, picnic, or as a side for grilled dishes. Easy to make and delightful to eat.

Ingredients

1–2 ripe avocados, cut into medium chunks
1 English cucumber, sliced lengthways and then crossways into 0.5 cm pieces
15–30 ml finely diced red onion (approx. 1–2 tablespoons)
Olive oil, to taste
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Juice of 1–2 limes
A pinch of dried oregano (optional)

Method

Combine the main ingredients:Place the avocado, cucumber, and red onion in a bowl. The creamy avocado against the crisp cucumber creates a satisfying texture.
Add olive oil:Drizzle with olive oil and gently fold the ingredients together. Use light, careful movements to keep the avocado chunks mostly intact.
Season:Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pour over the lime juice and fold gently to combine.
Adjust to taste:Taste and add a little more olive oil if you prefer a silkier texture. The goal is a creamy salad that still showcases chunky, fresh avocado pieces.
Add herbs & serve:Sprinkle with a pinch of dried oregano for a subtle herbal note. Serve immediately to enjoy the flavours at their freshest.
