• 2 English hothouse cucumbers, seeded and thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup finely chopped ginger
• 6 garlic cloves, peeled and lightly smashed
• 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar

• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, from about 4 limes

• 2 avocados, halved, pitted and sliced
