Begin by thoroughly cleaning the abalones under cold running water. Remove them from their shells using a spoon and trim away any dark innards. Carefully slice the abalone into thin strips.
Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil and blanch the abalone slices for 30 seconds. Immediately plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process, then drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, soy sauce, and minced garlic to create the dressing. Whisk well and set aside.
Wash and prepare the vegetables: slice the cucumber into thin rounds, cut the cherry tomatoes in halves, and slice the red bell pepper into thin strips.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cucumber slices, cherry tomato halves, and red bell pepper strips.
Add the blanched abalone slices to the salad bowl and gently mix all the ingredients together.
Pour the prepared dressing over the salad, and toss gently to ensure even coating.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the salad along with the salt and black pepper.
Serve the salad immediately, or refrigerate for no more than 30 minutes before serving for a chilled option.
