Instructions

Give the cucumber, cilantro and tomatoes a good rinse.
Finely chop 1/2 English cucumber, 2 Roma tomatoes, 1/4 red onion, and the flesh of 2-3 avocados. (I used 3 smaller avocados).
Add to a mixing bowl along with 3/4 teaspoon salt and some freshly cracked black pepper. Combine well and take a taste. This will give you an idea of how much dressing you'll need.
Add 2-3 tablespoons Lime Cilantro Dressing (or more) and mix well.
Top with a sprinkling of Cotija cheese and freshly chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.
For the Lime Cilantro Dressing, add 1/4 cup olive oil to a blender or food processor along with the juice of 1 lime, 1/2 jalapeno pepper, 1 garlic clove, 10-15 sprigs cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and some freshly cracked black pepper. Combine well.

Notes

I think this dish tastes best with just a hint of dressing so I only added 2-3 tablespoons of the Lime-Cilantro Dressing, but you are welcome to add more if it doesn't seem like enough.
Sometimes the Lime-Cilantro Dressing needs a little tweaking to find the right balance between the oil and the lime juice. If it’s too tart for your taste, add a bit more oil. If it’s too oily for your taste, add a bit more lime juice.
