Obsessively good avocado cucumber salad from Smitten Kitchen by Deb Perelman

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This really is obsessively good. I love avocados and cucumbers and this dressing packs punch.

    A delicious and easy salad. The combination of textures really works here

    I had a perfect avocado and cucumbers that needed using, so gave this a go. A nice change from my usual Asian inspired cucumber salads but not life changing.

    We really liked this salad. I used the called for lime juice and hot sauce.

    Not spectacular, but very simple and very good, even with lemon juice instead of lime. The children want to eat this again tomorrow. Also perfect on a low-carb diet. ETA: hubby did not like it at all, says the avocado is hardly noticeable.

    We enjoyed this--I don't know that I'd call it obsessively good, but definitely easy, tasty and fresh. To be fair, I was out of limes, so I did substitute lemon juice. And I imagine it would be slightly nicer with the lime juice. I would definitely make this again as a nice veggie side in the summer. I will note that leftovers don't keep very well--better to make a half-recipe and eat it all at dinner.

    Excellent salad and so easy. Recipe notes give several adaptations too.
