Notes
Cook's Notes:
Avocados should be moderately smooth and not really firm. This way they will best expose that rich, buttery, nutty flavor. I prefer thin cucumber slices with the skin still intact but use a carrot or apple peeler on the outside prior to slicing to make a line all the way down lengthwise the cucumber, leaving just a bit of the skin. This will look nice when sliced. Using rice vinegar produces a more Greek flavor. For an Italian style, use balsamic vinegar instead.Nutrition
