Comments: 1/21/2013 - I used two avocados, one cucumber, no onion and no seasonings. It fed Gail and me. It wasn't pretty.
3/5/2013 - One avocado, one cucumber, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, one tablespoon bottled cilantro, garlic and two tablespoons of lime juice. Served on a bed of chopped lettuce and garnished with cherry tomatoes and sliced black olives.
3/12/2013 - Omitted the chopped lettuce, green onion and black olives. Used fresh cilantro. Updated recipe.
8/22/2021 - I followed the recipe except I used 1/2 lemon. We'll get three nights from it. It was not especially spicy tasting, but maybe a little too tart.
