* 2 large cucumbers, or 3-4 medium-sized seedless cucumbers
* 2 ripe avocados
* 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
* 2 tbsp mayonnaise
* 2 tbsp sour cream
* 1 tbsp olive oil
* 1/2 cup buttermilk
* 3 tbsp chopped mint
* 3 tbsp chopped chives
* salt and freshly ground pepper


Peel the cucumber. If you are using smaller, seedless cucumbers, just go ahead and cut them into 1/4-inch thick slices. Otherwise, cut the cucumbers in quarters lengthwise. With a sharp knife, cut out the seedy part, and then cut the cucumbers into 1/2-inch pieces.

Season the cucumber with salt, put in a colander and leave for about 15-30 minutes to drain. Remove cucumbers from the colander and pat dry with a paper towel.

Prepare the dressing. In a small box combine feta and olive oil. Mix with a fork until it forms chunky paste. Add the mayonnaise and sour cream and continue to mix. When everything is fully incorporated, add the herbs and buttermilk. Season with pepper.

Cut the avocados into 1/2-inch dice.

In a bowl mix the cucumber and avocado. Add the dressing and gently combine. Serve.
