This fresh Cucumber Avocado Salsa is mouthwatering yumminess with every bite and will easily become one of your favorite appetizers.
This recipe is very simple. Just chop all the fresh veggies into tiny pieces. Mix the sauce separately and then toss them together. I usually add lots of extra cilantro (surprise surprise right?)
I have a thing for chips and salsa. If you put a bowl of candy and/or dessert and a bowl of chips and salsa in front of me, I will devour the latter in a second. If it’s not salsa, it’s guacamole or bean dip or something else with yummy ingredients like this salsa with cucumbers and avocados.
Whip this up for your next get-together, serve it in a pretty little chip and dip set and I guarantee you will giving out the recipe to many.
This also makes an amazing topping for salmon or chicken too!

Hey, I made the Avocado Stuffed Eggs for Easter, big hit…5 stars
I made the Cucumber Avocado Salsa just now & it’s already delish! I’m not a big fan of mayo & love your recipes.
Hannah says
This is just as delicious without the addition of sour cream and cumin! Also, it’s amazing with the addition of diced fresh jalapenos!

This is a very different type of salsa and looks like one we need to try – we snack on chips and salsa all the time so we’ve been looking for non-traditional salsas to change it up. This will be perfect!
