This is a mixed green salad, but not your typical one.
Instead of lettuce, chunks of cucumber, avocado and feta are tossed with mint and a lime vinaigrette. So simple, yet such a wonderful combination of flavor and texture.
Cucumber-Avocado Salad With Lime, Mint, And Feta
Ingredients:
3 cucumbers, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces

4. Add cucumbers, mint, and dressing to avocado and combine. Gently stir in the crumbled feta.

Lots of guitar, a thick beat and cool bass line. Top that with shoegazey vocals and ‘Dark Clouds’ is music to make Friday even better.
