Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 2 medium Persian or Lebanese cucumbers
- ½ medium red onion
- Big handful chopped cilantro/coriander or parsley
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- *Optional finally jalapeno for spice
Dressing
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large lemon juiced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Thinly slice the red onion and add them to a large salad bowl
- Add the red wine vinegar and a pinch of salt and stir through, leaving the onions to slightly pickle on the side while you prep the rest
- Peel off strips of the cucumber skin, then slice them in half lengthways then thinly into half circles
- Chop the avocados into cubes. I find it easiest to slice the avocados in half then cut diagonal slits through the avocado without going all the way through to the skin, then scooping out the cubes using a spoon
- Add the dressing ingredients to a glass jar or ramekin and stir together
- Remove all of the red wine vinegar from the onions and disregard, leaving the pickled onions in the bowl
- Add the cucumbers, chopped fresh herbs and jalapeno if using. Pour in half of the dressing and toss well to ensure everything is coated
- Then add the chopped avocados and pour over the remaining dressing. Gently stir through making sure not to over mix or mash up the avocado. Allow it to sit in the fridge for 5 minutes, then give it a final stir and serve up your creamy and delicious Avocado Salad!

Notes
- Avocado - choose ripe avocados that feel slightly soft when pressed but are still firm enough to dice without falling apart
- Serving - add the avocado just before serving to keep its creamy texture and prevent it from becoming too soft. Toss the salad gently instead of stirring too much to keep the avocado pieces intact
- Add jalapeño or red chili flakes for a little spicy kick
