Notes

For best taste, serve the salad cold. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within a couple of days. Use a sharp knife for cleaner cuts of cucumber and choose ripe avocados for a creamier texture. Customize the salad with additional ingredients like bell peppers or seaweed, or add heat with jalapeños or chili flakes.
