Tips to make the best Cucumber Avocado Salad
Avocados - After chopping the Avocados, quickly add the lemon juice and stir to combine. Leaving the avocados in the open, gets them oxidized and they turn brown. So quickly add the lemon juice to prevent that.
Red Onions - The taste of Red Onions can be pretty sharp most often.
You can either use picked red onions which is nothing but Red onion slices, dipped in white vinegar for about an hour and then used.
OR, Just soak the red onion slices in cold water while you prep the rest of the ingredients, drain and pat dry before adding them to the salad.
This will reduce the sharp taste of Red Onions.
Cucumbers - I love to use Persian cucumbers as they are thin skinned and not too long, which makes the water content in them more!
This salad goes perfect with Balsamic Grilled Chicken or Grilled Chicken Drumsticks or Greek Grilled Chicken Recipe
