Notes
- This recipe is PERFECTION as is - but feel free to add in some tomatoes, olives, lettuce, cheese etc. Use it as a base and build. It's perfect all summer long.
- I make this for our family most nights and I always make the dressing first in a large bowl and then toss in the avocado to give it a quick coating.
- Then the cukes can go on top and they just sit there for 45 minutes + without being stirred in. That way, when it's time to eat, everything gets a quick toss and you're good to go. The cucumbers can't get mixed too early as they will get soft. But the avocado was coated in the vinaigrette so it won't oxidize. Best of both worlds and everyone is happy!
