CUCUMBER-AVOCADO SALAD



Cucumber-Avocado Salad image

Crunchy cucumbers and creamy avocados are the stars of this simple five-ingredient salad. Peeling the cucumbers in alternating stripes helps them soak up seasonings while maintaining their shape. After being cut into bite-size pieces, they are combined with salt to draw out moisture, concentrating their flavor. Cubed avocado is tossed with lemon juice or vinegar to prevent browning, then everything is stirred together vigorously so that the avocado breaks down a bit to add a glossy coating. Finish with a hit of red-pepper flakes for heat, or embellish with herbs, lettuces, beans, soft-boiled eggs, feta, nuts and so on.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 scallions, trimmed then sliced crosswise 1/4-inch-thick
Ice
1 pound cucumbers (such as 6 Persian or mini seedless, or 1 English)
Kosher salt
2 very ripe avocados
2 tablespoons fresh lemon or lime juice, or unseasoned rice vinegar, plus more as needed
Red-pepper flakes or hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Transfer the scallions to a small bowl of ice water to crisp.
  • Peel the cucumbers in alternating stripes, trim ends and cut cucumbers lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds, if desired. Cut cucumbers into bite-size pieces (thin slices, 1/2-inch cubes, or smashed into irregular shapes), then transfer to a colander set in the sink. Toss with 1 teaspoon salt and set aside to drain, at least 5 minutes or up to 15.
  • When you're ready to eat, halve the avocados and remove the pits. Using a spoon, remove the flesh from the skins, then cut the flesh into 1/2-inch cubes. Transfer to a large bowl, add the lemon juice and season with salt. Stir to combine.
  • Shake the cucumbers in the colander to get rid of any excess moisture, then transfer to the bowl with the avocado. Drain and shake the scallions in the colander. Add the scallions to the bowl.
  • Stir the salad ingredients vigorously just until the avocado breaks down a bit. The cucumbers should be glossed with avocado but the majority of the avocado pieces should still remain cubed. Season to taste with salt, lemon and red-pepper flakes or hot sauce.

CRUNCHY CREAMY CUCUMBER AVOCADO SALAD



CRUNCHY CREAMY CUCUMBER AVOCADO SALAD image

Categories     Salad     Side     Avocado     Summer

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large cucumbers
Salt
2 ripe avocados
1/2 cup chopped mint
Juice and zest of 1/2 lime
4 ounces feta cheese, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
Pepper to taste (or lemon pepper)

Steps:

  • Peel the cucumbers, cut them in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with a teaspoon. Cut cucumbers into 1/2-inch pieces and put in a colander. Generously sprinkle with salt and let sit in the sink for 30 minutes to drain. This will prevent your salad from getting watery. Quickly rinse and blot dry with paper towel. While cucumbers are draining, dice the avocados into 1/2-inch pieces and put into a salad bowl. Drizzle with lime juice and toss gently. Wash and coarsely chop the mint. Chop the lime zest. In a bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons lime juice and lime zest to make dressing. Add drained cucumbers, mint, feta cheese and dressing to the avocados and gently combine. Add pepper (or lemon pepper) to taste. Cover and let stand in refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados. Ripe avocados will be dark green or black in color, and they will yield to gentle pressure when squeezed. Avoid avocados that are too hard or too soft.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the avocado. A sharp knife will help you to make clean, even cuts and avoid bruising the avocado.
  • Remove the avocado pit. To remove the avocado pit, cut the avocado in half lengthwise and twist the two halves apart. Then, use a spoon to scoop out the pit.
  • Slice the avocado. Slice the avocado into thin slices or cubes. You can also use an avocado slicer to create perfect slices.
  • Add the avocado to the salad. Add the avocado to the salad just before serving. This will help to prevent the avocado from browning.

Conclusion:

This crunchy creamy cucumber avocado salad is a refreshing and healthy salad that is perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. The combination of cucumber, avocado, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice is delicious and flavorful. The salad is also very easy to make, and it can be ready in just a few minutes.
