Tips For Making Avocado Feta Cucumber Salad

• Choose ripe but firm avocados so they hold their shape and don’t turn mushy when tossed.
• If you’re prepping ahead, wait to add the avocado until just before serving. It keeps the salad fresh and picture perfect.
• Chill the vinaigrette for about 10 minutes before mixing. Trust me, it makes the flavors meld together beautifully.
• Want extra flavor? Sprinkle a little more feta on top right before serving. It gives that final salty pop that ties everything together.
