Cucumber Salad Tips

• I like to use Persian cucumbers for this recipe because they are smaller in diameter, extra-crisp, and less seedy and watery. If you can’t find them, the second-best choice is English cucumbers, similar in texture.
• Don’t overdo the garlic in this recipe, or it will overwhelm the other flavors. I recommend using 1-2 small cloves of garlic.
• Using a basic balsamic vinegar is great for this recipe; you don’t need to use a thick or expensive balsamic.
• Serve this recipe immediately to avoid the avocado turning brown. This is not a recipe you want to refrigerate for later.
• You can also add more fresh ingredients to your cucumber salad, such as arugula, cherry tomatoes, and radish slices.
• Depending on how many servings you are making, you may want to add more CBD oil. I used 50mg in this recipe.
• CBD Cucumber salad is wonderful on its own and also tastes great on top of a thin slice of sourdough baguette.

Prep Time: 8 minutes
Servings: 3 – 4 servings

What You Need:
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 dropper of 50mg Pure Balance CBD Oil

• 1 ripe avocado, pitted and sliced or diced
• 4 Persian cucumbers or 2 medium English cucumbers, thinly sliced
• Optional additions: 1 cup of arugula, ½ cup halved cherry tomatoes, and/or 1 to 2 chopped radishes

Directions:
1. Whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, CBD oil, and garlic in a medium bowl.
2. Dice up the avocado and slice cucumbers thinly. Add in other veggies if you want, and toss to combine.
