Notes
Serve or Refrigerate:
You can serve the salad immediately for a fresh, crisp taste.
If you plan to make it ahead of time, take these steps to preserve the freshness:
To prevent the avocado from browning, toss the cubed avocado with some lemon or lime juice before adding it to the cucumber.
Add the dressing to the bowl with the cucumber and avocado, gently mix, and then cover the salad tightly with plastic wrap.
