Begin by cleaning the fresh abalone. Use a small brush under cold running water to remove any debris from the shell and meat. Detach the abalone meat from the shell using a spoon.
Once cleaned, use a sharp knife to thinly slice the abalone into pieces approximately 2-3mm thick.
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of one large lemon, olive oil, chopped fresh dill, kosher salt, and black pepper. Set the dressing aside to allow the flavors to meld.
Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise, remove the seeds with a spoon, and slice it into thin half-moons.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the red onion. Dice the avocado into bite-sized pieces.
In a large salad bowl, combine the sliced abalone, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, baby spinach, red onion, and avocado.
Drizzle the zesty citrus dressing over the salad and gently toss until everything is well coated.
Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or a light lunch, ensuring each serving has a generous amount of abalone and vegetables.
