SERVES: 4-6 PREP TIME: 15 mins COOK TIME: na

Ingredients

3 medium size lebanese cucumbers
2 cups fresh coriander
1 large ripe avocado (not overly ripe, still with some firmness)
2 teaspoons of red chilli, sliced and remove seeds
juice of ½ a lemon (or lime)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Method

Cut the cucumbers in half lengthways and then slice into half moon shapes around 3 cm thick.
Loosely chop the coriander so the leaves are still quite large.
Cut the avocado into 1½ cm cubes.
Finely slice the chilli, removing the seeds.
Gently combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix with your hands or a spoon – being careful not to mash the avocado too much.
Dress with the olive oil and lemon juice and mix some more.
Garnish with cracked black pepper.
