4 servings
- 2 large english cucumbers
- 2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 1 lime)
- ½ tsp lime zest
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ tsp ground cumin
- ¼ tsp sea salt, plus more to taste
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely minced (optional)
For serving
- flaky sea salt, for finishing (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Slice the cucumbers into rounds about 3/4-inch thick — you should get 18–20 rounds total. Using a small spoon or melon baller, scoop a shallow well into the center of each round, leaving the base intact so the cup holds its filling.

Scoop the avocado flesh into a small bowl. Add the lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, cumin, sea salt, and black pepper. Mash with a fork until mostly smooth with a few small chunks remaining — the texture should be thick and spreadable, not runny.
