Prep:
Slice the cucumbers: Cut off both ends of the cucumber. Slice it in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place the cucumber halves cut side down, then cut them into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
Cut the avocado: Cut lengthwise around the avocado and twist both halves to separate them. Hold the avocado firmly in one hand and the knife in the other. Carefully whack the pit with the edge of a knife and remove it. Cut the avocado halves into wedges and peel the skin from the pointy end. Cut the wedges into bite-sized chunks.
Slice the scallions: Slice off the white part of the scallions and set them aside. Cut the green part diagonally into thin slices.
Cook:
Make the dressing: In a small bowl, add 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp lime juice, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp ground black pepper. Mix well until combined.
Mix the salad: In a large mixing bowl, add 12 oz cucumber, 8 oz avocado, and the dressing. Toss the ingredients until the dressing coats the fruit and vegetables evenly.
Garnish and serve: Sprinkle 2 tbsp scallions and 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes on top. Enjoy!
