Ingredients:

  • 1 large English Cucumber (approx. 14 oz / 400g), diced
  • 2 medium Ripe Avocados (approx. 12 oz / 340g), cubed
  • 1/4 cup red onion (approx. 40g), finely diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro or parsley (approx. 10g), chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice (30ml)
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (15ml)
  • 1 tsp maple syrup or honey (5ml)
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt (3g)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper (1g)
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (1g)
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (15g)

Instructions:

  1. Dice the English cucumber into uniform 1/2-inch cubes and cube the avocado slightly larger than the cucumber to prevent breakdown.
  2. Finely mince the red onion.
  3. In a small jar or bowl, combine the lime juice, olive oil, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Shake or whisk vigorously for 30 seconds until emulsified.
  4. Place the diced cucumbers and onions in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with half of the dressing and toss gently.
  5. Add the cubed avocado and chopped cilantro. Using a silicone spatula, gently fold the ingredients together from the bottom up until just coated.
  6. Garnish with red pepper flakes and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
