Author Notes
With the subtle crunch of radishes, the sweet softness of cukes, and the gentle wonderfulness of of avocadoes, you can take this in the direction you like best. For southwestern, add chipotle (smoked jalapeño) chile powder, and for Asian, add some dashes of soy sauce and fish sauce along with some Siracha. Add some tender spring ramps, and be sure to include some of their tender greens, as well as some chives just peeking out to see if winter is truly done with us. And use it however you wish: on burgers, on salmon; with omelettes, with muishui or soft-rolled whatever. —boulangere

Finally, however you are using it, use it up! It doesn't keep. Personally, whichever ethnic profile, I could eat a boatload of it alone straight out of the bowl.
