Chile Lime Cucumber Avocado Salad

Ingredients

This one smacks in all the right ways: crispy, creamy, herby, salty, crunchy—all the textures, all the flavor. Its so easy, and so good!

If you’re tired of boring salads, this is my go-to when I want something refreshing but bold. Pairs well with grilled chicken, shrimp, steak, or just eaten straight from the bowl.

Here’s how I made it:

1.Start by cutting 4–5 Persian cucumbers (or 3 Japanese cucumbers) into half moons, coins, or sticks. Whatever shape you like, just don’t make them too thick -you want them to soak up all the flavor.

2.Add the cucumbers to a bowl or jar.

3.Add 1 cubed avocado, 1 finely diced large shallot (or 1/3 red onion), a large handful of finely chopped cilantro.

4.Add 2 tablespoons of roasted pistachios for some crunch and flavor.

5.Finally, top it all off with 1 oz crumbled feta, the zest and juice of 1 large juicy lime, 1 tbsp olive oil, a generous pinch of salt, and ½ to 1 tbsp chile lime seasoning.

6.Close the lid and give it a good shake, or just toss it gently in the bowl.

7.Finish with more feta and finely chopped cilantro on top. Again, this would be great with a protein of your choice, or even as is.
