Cucumber Avocado Salad #SundayFunday

Cucumbers, Avocados, Scallions, and Tomatoes are dressed simply with olive oil and lemon juice.  This is a great side dish for whatever you are serving up.  I used it to top Salmon Rice Bowls.

It's Cucumber season and the Sunday Funday Bloggers are serving them up in many different ways....

Sue of Palatable Pastime is hosting this week and asked us to help our readers by sharing recipes featuring the plethora of cucumbers available right now.

• Cucumber and Avocado Salad from A Day in the Life on the Farm
• Cucumber Raita from Cook with Renu
• Cucumber Rosettes from Amy’s Cooking Adventures
• Roasted Apricots, Cucumber, and Tomato Gazpacho with Alioli from Culinary Cam
• Semolina Cucumber Cake from Sneha's Recipe
• Sesame Cucumber Radish Salad from Food Lust People Love

My brother, his wife, and his granddaughter are visiting from California and I had planned on making Salmon Bowls for dinner, garnished with cucumbers and avocado.  

As often happens here, the gathering extended to include all my siblings.  Our daughter, Marissa was home and her guy kindly took the family photo.

Instead of individual bowls, I decided to let folks make their own so I turned the garnish into a bright, beautiful salad.
