Tips

• Store this salad in an air-tight conatiner in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
• If you want to prep this salad ahead, keep the avocado separately, drizzled with lemon juice to prevent it from browning.
• Also, add salt just before serving so that the cucumber remains crisp.
• You can add red pepper flakes or jalapeno for heat if desired.
