This is one of my favorite go-to appetizer dips. Served with tortilla chips, it is so fresh tasting. After about two chip-fulls I am hopelessly hooked.
Ingredients
- 2 English cucumbers, seeded, quartered and cut into 1/2 inch slices
- 2 scallions, white and green parts, minced
- 3 T. red wine vinegar
- 1 1/2 tsp. lime zest
- 2 T. fresh lime juice
- 1 T. honey
- 1 T. extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 T. chopped fresh cilantro
- salt, to taste
- freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 2 avocados, cubed
Combine cucumber and scallion in a medium bowl. Whisk together vinegar and next five ingredients in a small bowl. Pour vinaigrette over cucumber mixture and season with salt and pepper. Can be prepared and refrigerated ahead of time. Add the avocado just before serving.
