Start by preparing all the vegetables: wash and dry the mixed spring greens, slice the cucumber, thinly slice the radishes, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the avocado, and dice the red bell pepper.
In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed spring greens, sliced cucumber, radishes, cherry tomatoes, avocado, red bell pepper, and scallions.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine and evenly coat all the ingredients.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top of the salad for added flavor and garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your nut-free fresh spring salad.
