Simple Avocado Cucumber Salad

This simple avocado cucumber salad recipe was inspired from the magazine Bon Appetit.  It was featured in the magazine as one way of making use of avocado. I love the idea of combining the avocado with cucumber and simply dressing it up with lime juice and olive oil. I love the avocado for its soft and creamy texture and the cucumber for its clean and refreshing taste. This healthy salad is great to start the year after all the chocolates and sweets I consumed over the holidays. Enjoy!
