Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium English or Persian cucumbers, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh turmeric root, finely grated
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
  • Juice of 1 large lemon
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel the cucumbers if preferred and slice thinly about 1/8 inch thick.
  2. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and dice into roughly 1/2-inch cubes. Set aside carefully.
  3. Remove mint leaves from stems and roughly chop without bruising.
  4. Grate 1 teaspoon each of fresh turmeric and ginger using a microplane or fine grater. Wash hands immediately after handling turmeric.
  5. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
  6. Slice red onion thinly if using; soak in cold water for 5 minutes to mellow sharpness if desired.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
  8. In a large mixing bowl, combine cucumber slices, avocado, mint, grated turmeric, ginger, cherry tomatoes, and onion. Pour dressing over and gently toss to coat evenly without mashing avocado.
  9. Sprinkle chia seeds on top if using and give one final gentle toss.
  10. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture, or within 30 minutes of preparation.

Notes

Keep avocado separate until just before serving to prevent browning. Pat cucumbers dry if watery to avoid sogginess. Fresh turmeric stains hands—wear gloves if desired. Soak onions in cold water to reduce sharpness. Toss gently to avoid mashing avocado. Best served fresh within 30 minutes.
