Fresh and crunchy salad

Whenever we have salad for dinner – or as a side- I try not to make the same old tomato, lettuce and cucumber mix. I want to make something different, fresh and a bit creative. And this salad is a new favorite to my salad repertoire.

I found the recipe here the other week when I was surfing other blogs and it looked so delicious that I made it that  evening as a side to chicken.

I love that is has a lot of crunch, freshness and still a bit of creaminess from the avocado.

 Ingredients

1 cucumber
