SESAME CUCUMBER AND AVOCADO SALAD

Sesame Cucumber and Avocado Salad image

Crispy cucumber and creamy avocado perform a delicate dance with earthy notes of sesame in this most simple of salads. Thin-skinned varieties such as Persian or English cucumbers work best, as they are almost seedless with a robust flesh that stays crisp. But don't worry if you only have access to seedy cucumbers: Peel them if their skins are thick, then cut them in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds before slicing. No-cook and ready in a matter of minutes, this elegant salad can be dressed up according to your mood. It is a satisfying meal on its own, but it can also be served alongside cold soba noodles, or with brown rice and a fried or jammy egg on top.

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce or tamari
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
2 ripe avocados
1 pound cucumbers (such as Persian or English), trimmed and thinly sliced
2 green, red or purple scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal) and black pepper
Toasted sesame seeds, for topping

Steps:

Make the dressing: Place the sesame oil, rice vinegar, sesame seeds, sugar, soy sauce and red-pepper flakes into a small bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of water and whisk until emulsified. Taste, and adjust seasonings. (Dressing should taste acidic, a little sweet and salty.)
When you're ready to eat, prepare the salad: Halve the avocados and discard the pits. Using a small paring knife, carefully score the avocado flesh into 1/2-inch cubes, avoiding cutting through the skin. Use a large spoon to scoop out the avocado flesh (in one spoonful, if possible), as close to the skin as possible. Transfer avocado cubes to a large bowl and add the dressing; toss gently.
Add the cucumbers and scallions and toss everything together. Season with salt and black pepper, top with more sesame seeds, and serve immediately.

Tips:

Choose ripe and firm avocados for a creamier texture.
Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cucumbers for a more elegant presentation.
If you don't have cumin seeds, you can use ground cumin instead. Just use half the amount, as ground cumin is more potent.
This salad is best served immediately, but it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

This Atkins Cucumber Avocado Salad with Cumin Dressing is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is low in carbs and high in healthy fats, making it a great option for those following the Atkins diet. The combination of cucumbers, avocados, and cumin dressing creates a unique and delicious salad that is sure to please everyone at the table.
