Notes
- For added crunch, leave the cucumber skin on.
- Use a sharp knife to ensure clean avocado slices for easy pit removal.
- For extra creaminess, mash the avocado more thoroughly.
- Red onion can be soaked in cold water for 10 minutes to reduce sharpness.
- This salad is best served fresh, but can be stored for up to an hour to allow flavors to meld.
