Step-By-Step Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, mash the avocado with a fork until the desired consistency (slightly chunky or smooth).
- Finely chop the pickling cucumber or peel, seed, and finely chop the regular cucumber. (You should get about 1/3 cup.) Stir the cucumber and remaining ingredients into the avocado. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 8 hours.
- Cook’s Tip: Store leftover avocado by sprinkling the exposed surface with fresh lemon juice, lime juice, or white vinegar. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap or place in an airtight container and refrigerate. It should keep for 1-2 days.
