- 0.25 small Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Begin by cutting the avocados in half, removing the pits, and scooping the flesh into a large mixing bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth, leaving a few chunks for texture.
Wash and dry the mixed salad greens, then add them to the bowl with the mashed avocados.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl.
Peel the cucumber, slice it into rounds, and add it to the salad.
Deseed and dice the red bell pepper, then add it to the bowl.
Finely slice the red onion and add it to the salad mixture.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and add it to the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together gently, ensuring the avocado coats the vegetables evenly.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste before serving immediately.
