2018 RECIPE TWENTY THREE: Monday June 11 - cucumber and avocado salad

BACK STORY:
Anna recommended this, after seeing it on the Smitten Kitchen Instagram.


NOTES:

This is basically the best salad in the universe. I will eat it every day. Mini cucumbers are the best for the salad - I do a ratio of two mini cukes to one avocado. I used greek yogurt and a scooge of sriracha along with the lime for the dressing. I will literally eat it every day.


STARS: 

5 out of 5. I would give more stars if I had them.
