What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 1 English cucumber
  • 4 cups Sugar snaps, blanched and sliced on the bias
  • 2 Avocados, sliced into bite sized chunks
  • 4 Scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup Dill, torn
  • 1/2 cup Mint, torn
  • 1 Lemon, zest and juice
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
  1. Prepare the cucumber: Slice your cucumber lengthwise then scoop out the seeds with a small spoon. Next, gently smack cucumbers on their skin side with a rolling pin or the back of a chef's knife until they begin to break apart. Tear into bite-size pieces. Transfer to a colander; toss with a few big pinches salt and let sit 10 minutes to drain excess liquid.
  2. For the vinaigrette, whisk together lemon juice, Dijon, olive oil, salt and pepper until emulsified.
  3. Drain the cucumbers and combine with remaining ingredients. Toss with vinaigrette to taste. Enjoy!
