Creamy Avocado Cucumber Salad

So this recipe doesn't have too much of a back story. I just REALLY love cucumbers but find them to either be boring/plain and too bitter when kept in vinegar. Most creamy cucumber recipe sauces have sugar in them! BEHOLD! A recipe free of bitter and sugar, we meet in the middle with our special ingredient, Greek Yogurt!

Greek yogurt is yogurt which has been strained to remove the whey, resulting in a thicker consistency while preserving yogurt's distinctive sour taste. This yogurt is starting to become more popular due to a richer texture and higher protein content. I like Greek yogurt because it has various uses in the kitchen and in recipes. 


This recipe takes under 5 minutes to prepare. I would consider this VERY easy and convenient.
