This sounds delicious! Can't wait to try it. Mint, cucumber, and avocado are some of my favorite things.
Note for the people who can't keep buttermilk on hand -- you can approximate buttermilk by adding 1 tbsp of vinegar or lemon juice per cup of regular milk and letting them sit 10 minutes. - 6/9/09
