Directions
In a medium bowl, combine the first 11 ingredients (corn through cilantro) and mix well. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator at least one hour before using.
Meanwhile, prepare the cucumbers: Peel (if not using English seedless) and cut in half lengthwise. With a small pointed teaspoon, scrape out and discard the seeds.
About 15 minutes before serving, remove the cornbean salad from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature. Dice the avocados and stir them in gently. Add pepper to taste.
Fill each cucumber half with about 1/3 cup salad. Garnish with feta and serve cold or at room temperature.
