Instructions

Combine Base Ingredients: Place the diced cucumbers, finely chopped fresh dill, crumbled feta cheese, lemon juice, and extra virgin olive oil into a large mixing bowl. This combination forms the fresh and flavorful base of the salad.
Season the Salad: Add ½ teaspoon of kosher salt and black pepper to the mixture. Stir well to evenly distribute the seasoning and dress the cucumbers and feta with the lemon-olive oil dressing.
Gently Fold in Avocado: Carefully add the diced avocados and gently fold them into the salad just until combined. This ensures the avocado maintains its creamy texture without becoming mushy.
Adjust Seasoning and Serve: Taste the salad and add additional salt and black pepper if needed. Serve immediately, optionally garnished with extra fresh dill and a sprinkle of lemon zest for added brightness and presentation.

Notes

This salad is best served fresh to enjoy the creamy texture of the avocado and the crispness of the cucumbers.
For variations, consider adding Castelvetrano olives or sweet summer tomatoes for extra flavor and texture.
Pairs wonderfully with grilled lemon chicken or Greek-style grilled chicken wings, making it perfect for summer cookouts or weeknight dinners.
