Lacks texture, and too wealthy! It could be like having guacamole and calling it a salad. 🙂 (Not that I’m suggesting I’ve a problem with that!).
-
Avocados – large and ripe!

Cucumbers – I’m utilizing common cucumbers right here (we name them Lebanese cucumbers), which might be round 17cm/7″ lengthy. If utilizing the lengthy telegraph / English cucumbers ~30cm/12″ lengthy, use 1 1/2.
