Begin by preparing the vegetables. Thoroughly wash and dry mixed salad greens and place them in a large salad bowl.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half, and slice the cucumber into thin rounds. Add them to the salad bowl.
Core and slice the red bell pepper into thin strips. Peel and grate the carrot, and thinly slice the red onion. Add these to the bowl as well.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and dice the flesh. Add the diced avocado to the salad.
To make the dressing, squeeze the juice from the lemon into a small bowl, discarding any seeds.
Whisk in the olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Finely chop fresh parsley and sprinkle over the top of the salad for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness and crispness of the vegetables.
