Avocado and Cucumber Salad

So this afternoon before work I decided I wanted something slightly different for dinner even though the Chicken Enchiladas were thawed. Only 2 of us eat meat at my dads place (my dad and I) so I on Monday nights when I cook I usually have lots of veggies and/or salad and then a little bit of meat for my dad and I. I eat more veggies than meat anyway so its not too much of a big deal. 

I looked what we had in the fridge... Wednesday is shopping day so by Monday after a weekend of friends around there isn't usually much. I found that apart from the salad veggies I had already put aside for a garden salad I had an avocado and lots of baby cucumbers. So I came up with my own little salad (which I just realised I forgot to take a photo of so please forgive me) that had been inspired by a few different recipes online. 

Ingredients

  • Avocado 
  • 1/8 of an onion
  • 4 baby cucumbers 
  • Feta 
  • Lemon Juice
  • El Taro Chili and Lime sauce 
  • 1/12 teaspoon of garlic
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (if it needs to be thinned out) 

Method  

  1. Chop onion, avocado and cucumber and combine in a bowl. 
  2. Crumble some feta (adjust to your taste) between your fingers and mix into the onion, avocado and cucumber mixture. 
  3. To make the dressing in a small cup combine lemon juice, chili and lime sauce and garlic an mix together. (Add apple cider vinegar if needed to thin it out). 
  4. Combine the dressing and vegetable mixture together.
  5. Serve immediately.
What are some salad's you enjoy?
