Recipe: Southwest Salad

This is one of my favourite salads. It's just so refreshing! A perfect compliment to so many dishes, especially spicy or smoky barbecued meat. YUM!  It takes a bit of effort to dice everything, but it's a great opportunity to brush up your knife skills!

-1 English cucumber, seeded and diced
-3 avocados, seeded and diced
-1 medium red onion, diced
