Sesame Cucumber and Avocado Salad Recipe

"Crispy cucumber and creamy avocado perform a delicate dance with earthy notes of sesame in this most simple of salads Thin-skinned varieties such as Persian or English cucumbers work best, as they are almost seedless with a robust flesh that stays crisp But don’t worry if you only have access to seedy cucumbers: Peel them if their skins are thick, then cut them in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds before slicing..."
