Crisp cucumber and creamy avocado are a pairing I love, and this salad makes them shine. A tequila poppy seed vinaigrette made with Barrel Aged White Thick Sweet Balsamic and Nocellara Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil adds bright, zesty lime flavor, and a sprinkle of Lime Fresco Infused Sea Salt finishes every bite. Serve it as a fresh side dish with just about any meal.
