Cucumber Avocado Salad (with Feta)

This Cucumber Avocado Salad is a perfect side dish to serve all summer long! The salad has cucumbers, creamy avocado, Feta cheese, and plenty of flavor from mint and lime juice. And this salad will taste so good on a hot summer day. Of course, if you’re lucky enough to have fresh garden cucumbers, that will make this tasty salad even better!

I love cooking with fresh mint, and every year I love to buy a few mint plants, even though now I’m growing them on the patio. And Cucumber Avocado Salad recipe was a perfect way to use some of that mint. And don’t you agree that a salad with cucumbers, avocado, mint, and Feta sounds perfect for the extra-hot summer weather so many places are having at this time of year! I hope you enjoy trying it.
