I made this for dinner for my daughter and her friend the other night. They were scraping the bowl! My husband liked it and he doesn't even like avacados. If you like the ingredients, you will LOVE this dish. Another plus is that it was super easy to prepare. Thanks for a keeper!

This was absolutely yummy! The only adjustments i made were adding roma tomatoes, a little less fresh garlic, and a dash of garlic salt. I also waited to add the avocado til the end so i didn't smash it up.

This wasn't very tasty to me. This may be just my taste buds but the cucumber and avocado didn't match well together. I won't make this again. I am sure others like the taste. Sorry.

OMG THIS WAS AWESOME!! I made this at the last minute and made to recipe exactly as stated. I let it chill for about 45 minutes and it was so good, that's all I ate for dinner. I would suggest using avocados that are slightly green, so they are not too soft when you are mixing. Also, only make enough for what will be eaten at that meal. The avocado's naturally start to brown when cut and the salad is not visually appealing the next day! Good lord, this tasted delicious!! Thank you for the recipe!

I loved this salad except for the cilantro. Instead, I used Tony's creole seasoning and didn't add the garlic or pepper. After reading the reviews I decided to chill the avacados before cutting them up. To minimize the need to stir I layered cucumbers, a sprinkling of Tony's, halved grape tomatoes, more Tony's, onion and avacado, Tony's, then squeezed on the lime and lemon. It only took a light toss to thoroughly mix it and the avacados didn't get mushy. My husband is not crazy about avacados, but he loved this salad!

A bit of an odd taste - I definitely liked it better the next day when it was really chilled. It was a great way to use up our avocado. I would make this again.

Very refreshing and taste great on top of Chicken Enchilada II (from this site). I used lemon & lime juice from a bottle, I know, I know, it's not the same but it still worked and I didn't have to run to the store.

This was quick, easy and delicious. I would have preferred to use garlic powder, as the fresh was a little bit overpowering. I would also like to try it without the cilantro. Unlike most salads, this really is best served chilled. Thanks!

This was a big hit with guests. Everybody loved it! I removed the seeds from the cucmber, which enhanced the crunchy texture. Try it with the "Anaheim Fish Tacos" from this site - unbelievable!

Notice I rated the average just to be fair with the rating,I am not trying to cheat with my rating! I just needed to add something I should have mentioned which is probably why one veiwer saidit looked horrible. DON'T STIR HARD! MIX AFTER ALL INGREDIENTS ARE IN THE BOWLSO THE AVACADO STAYS TOGETHER! Thanx and enjoy my recipe!

This recipe tastes better than it looks...but only a little bit. I definetely would not reccommend this to anyone. It looked so unappetizing that I almost didn't even taste it.

I need to try this recipe again with a riper avocado. It was not bad tasting but it didn't blow me away. I did add some cumin and red pepper to give it some kick.

This was yummy! My husband loved it. I was looking for a recipe that I could make to use up my avocados and cilantro, yet not make guacamole. This did the trick. Definitely a keeper! Thanks for sharing.
