Ingredients

• 1 Cucumber
• 1 Avocado
• 1 tsp Lemon juice
• 1 pinch Sea salt
• 1 pinch Chili flakes

Steps

1. Slice 1 cucumber into 12 thick rounds, about 1/2 inch each. Thicker rounds stay sturdy under the avocado and do not flop.
2. Arrange the rounds on a plate and pat the tops dry so the avocado sits still.
3. Halve 1 avocado, remove the pit by tapping it with the knife edge and twisting, and scoop out the flesh.
4. Slice the avocado flesh into 12 wedges and lay one wedge on each cucumber round.
5. Sprinkle the avocado with 1 tsp lemon juice right away -- acid on avocado keeps it from browning.
6. Finish with a pinch of sea salt and a pinch of chili flakes, and serve immediately while the avocado is fresh and green.
