Original Recipe Yield 6 servings

Ingredients

2 English (hothouse) cucumbers, diced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup diced red onion
1 small red bell pepper, diced
2 limes, zested and juiced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon white sugar
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
4 dashes hot pepper sauce
2 avocados - peeled, pitted and diced

Directions

Place the cucumber slices into a colander set in the sink, and sprinkle with salt. Set aside and allow to drip.
In a salad bowl, mix together the red onion, red bell pepper, lime zest and juice, cilantro, sugar, curry powder, and hot pepper sauce until thoroughly combined and the sugar has dissolved. Drain the cucumber slices, and pat them dry with paper towels. Stir the cucumbers into the salad. Gently toss the avocados with the salad and serve.

Cook's Notes
If you are not going to serve this immediately do not peel, chop and add the avocado until just before serving. Also, if you are in a real hurry, you can skip draining the cucumbers, but any leftovers you have will get watery.
