A very good combination. I used dill, as DH is not a cilantro fan. Parsley probably would have been a good sub too. I think this could work equally well with lemon, or in the form of a relish to top burgers, fish or chicken. Avocado, cucumber and lemon/lime is a classic "marriage" that never goes out of style!

This recipe was the answer to a long search for something to serve at a cocktail party. It's a great twist on something familiar. It travels well too. Just slice the cucumbers and make the avocado mixture up ahead of time, pack separately and assemble on-site. I like a little chili powder mixed in with the avocado.
