Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash the cucumbers under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.
  2. Dice the cucumbers into bite-sized pieces and set them in a large mixing bowl.

  5. Finely chop the fresh parsley and add it to the bowl.
Assemble
  1. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the mixed ingredients.
  2. Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over the salad.
  3. Gently toss the ingredients with a spatula or large wooden spoon, being careful not to mash the avocado.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve

  2. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before serving to enhance flavors.

Notes

To keep cucumbers crisp, pat them dry thoroughly after washing and avoid using overripe avocados to prevent mushiness. This salad is perfect for meal prep, allowing you to chop ingredients in advance and store separately until needed.
