Sometimes I get a little too carried away and buy more avocados than I can possibly use in a week. So, I have to come up with different ways to prepare them beyond just guacamole or avocado shakes. This Cucumber Avocado Salsa can be served as a dip with sliced vegetables, like a traditional salsa with chips, as a sauce on grilled chicken or shrimp or simply eaten with a spoon on it's own. It's a refreshing summer recipe no matter how you serve it.

Ingredients
2 avocados, peeled, pitted, & cubed
1 large cucumber, seeded and chopped
Juice of 1 lime
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
