Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine sliced cucumbers and diced avocado. Gently toss to coat without mashing the avocado.
2. Step 2: Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, chopped dill, sea salt, and black pepper until emulsified and slightly thickened.
3. Step 3: Pour dressing over cucumber-avocado mixture and toss gently until evenly coated. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld and prevent browning.
4. Step 4: Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice if needed. Serve chilled immediately, noting how the cool cucumber and creamy avocado create a satisfying texture contrast that feels light on the stomach.
