Cucumber and Avocado Salad

Ingredients for Cucumber and Avocado Salad

• 24 sprigs coriander

• 1/4 cup coarsely chopped coriander leaves

• 1/4 cup chopped peeled ginger

• 6 garlic cloves, lightly crushed

• 2 dried chillies de árbol

• 2 English hothouse cucumbers (about 900g total), cut into 1/2" pieces

• 1 cucchiaino (o più) di sale kosher

• 1 cucchiaino di zucchero

• 4 celery stalks, thinly sliced on a diagonal

• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

• 2 tablespoons grapeseed or vegetable oil

• 2 avocados, halved, pitted, sliced

• 1/4 cup torn fresh basil leaves

• Ingredient info: Chillies de árbol are sold at some supermarkets and at Latin markets.

Combine coriander sprigs, ginger, garlic, and chillies in a resealable plastic freezer bag; seal. Lightly pound with a skillet or rolling pin until ginger and garlic are well mashed.

Add cucumbers, 1 teaspoon salt, and sugar. Seal bag; shake to mix. Squeeze bag firmly to slightly mash cucumbers, 1-2 minutes. Place bag in a large bowl; let macerate at room temperature, turning halfway through, until juices form, about 35 minutes.

Empty contents of bag into bowl; turn bag inside out and scrape out any small bits. Discard coriander sprigs. Mix in celery, juice, and oil. Season with more salt, if desired.

Divide avocado among plates; spoon salad over. Garnish with chopped coriander and basil.
