Get ready to experience a side dish or appetizer like no other with this beautiful and fun Sesame Crusted Avocado Cucumber Salad. It combines the velvety goodness of avocado with the delicate nuttiness and earthiness of toasted black sesame seeds, crisp, fresh cucumbers, cherry radishes and sweetly fragrant raspberries. You can use white sesame seeds or a mixture of both black and white if you prefer.

What colors! I love the beautiful blue of the cornflower against the black sesame, with the pops of red. So nice!

It looks a bit scary with them schwartze sesame seeds. Lovely greens, though

Es una ensalada maravillosa, con toques salados y dulces, más el punto crunch. Me encanta.

Encasing the avocado in black sesame seeds is such an exciting idea Angie, even though I have to stay away from small seeds, the whole dish looks spectacular. I love what you have done with cucumbers as well. Fantastic plate of food.

This Sesame Crusted Avocado Cucumber Salad sounds absolutely delightful and so creative! The mix of textures and flavors, from the creamy avocado and crisp cucumbers to the nutty sesame seeds and sweet raspberries, is genius.
