Avocado salad
Report
Recipe video above. This is my favourite avocado salad. Cooling cucumber with creamy avocado, tangy lime juice, optional fresh herbs and my secret ingredient - a pinch of red pepper flakes which keeps things interesting! Doesn't make it spicy, more of a slight cooling hum of earthy warmth.

Instructions
- Put all the salad ingredients in large bowl. Drizzle over lime juice and oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper and red chilli flakes.
- Toss gently using your hands, gently separating the avocado slices as you go. Taste and add more lime if you want.
- Tumble into a bowl and serve!
Notes
- Cucumbers - If using the long telegraph / English cucumbers ~30cm/12" long, use 1 1/2.
- Fresh herbs - Fresh dill and coriander adds lovely fresh herbiness but I wouldn't make a special trip to the shops just to get them! Do it for company :)
- Fresh herbs - Fresh dill and coriander adds lovely fresh herbiness but I wouldn't make a special trip to the shops just to get them! Do it for company :)
- If you're one of those coriander haters, use an extra 1 tbsp of dill or substitute with parsley.
- Leftovers will keep until the next day (and the avocado stays green!) but as with most salads, it's best made fresh.
- Nutrition per serving assuming 5 servings.
