    Prepare the cucumbers and avocados.

    • Skin the cucumbers with your vegetable peeler. Cut the cucumbers into medallions and cut out the seeds. I do this by taking each medallion and cutting a square shape around the seeds. You'll end up with the seeds in a square piece that you can just throw out, and four long pieces you can use.
    • Chop the cucumber pieces into whatever size you'd like them to be.
    • Cut the avocado meat into cubes.
    • Note: if you prefer a chunkier salad, cut your cucumber and avocado into large pieces.

    Add all ingredients to your mixing bowl.

    • Add the cucumber pieces, avocado pieces, juice from your lemon, raw Parmesan*, and sea salt (ASHLEYR for 15% off) to your mixing bowl.
    • *Note: I went crazy and added 8oz of raw parm to our salad. That's a lot of raw parm. My husband and I enjoyed it, but I know not everyone loves inhaling cheese like we do, so I recommend adding anywhere from 4oz-8oz depending on your taste.
    • Mix it up until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

    Serve and enjoy!

    • This salad is best served fresh and degrades rapidly in the fridge due to the avocado. If there are leftovers, store them in the fridge for 1-2 days max.
