Loved how light and cool this recipe was! Perfect for those summer days. Definitely need to use firm avocados. I used someone else's suggestion to put all the ingredients in the bowl at one time before stirring (gently!) which helps keep the avocado from becoming smooshed. Has a similar flavor to guacamole, but the cucumber gives it a nice crunch.

This is so simple, but so tasty. I omitted the cilantro since we don't care for it so I added a bit of fresh basil. It was a perfect counterpoint to a cheddar broccoli quiche. Thanks Jesse, this is a keeper.

SOOO GOOD! Very fresh (assuming you use fresh ingredients) - would be amazing with a main dish like hot sauce, buffalo wings, indian food, bbq spicy food. I used regular onion, and dried cilantro, but it was still amazing and can't wait to play with the ingredients, you could easily switch in other things like tomatoes or red peppers. There is something about the ratio of lime to lemon juice, mixed with fresh cracked pepper and salt which works perfectly with the cold avocado and cucumber.

This was pretty good. My Hubbie likes it a lot more than me though. i served it with a side of grape tomatoes and kalamata olives and it was tasty.

Not a lot of flavor. Possibly adding some balsamic vinegar would help or more salt and pepper. Wasn't impressed but felt healthy eating it!

This recipe was FABULOUS!!!!!! I had to halve the recipe because we didn't want the avocado in the fridge overnight, but followed it exactly otherwise. Tasted so fresh and the cucumber really gave some great flavor to the avocado. This is going to be a regular in my house, thank you so much for posting!

Great simple dish. I only had 1 and 1/2 cucumbers, but that seemed about right. I think i prefer this to guacamole!

This was seriously YUMMY! I added a few cherry tomatoes for a punch of colour, but otherwise everything else was the same. Fabulously quick, easy lunch! I didn't wait the 30 minutes...too hungry! :D
