Begin by washing all the vegetables thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or residues.
Pat the vegetables dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Chop the Romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl with the lettuce.
Peel the cucumber if desired, then slice it into thin rounds or half-moons and add to the bowl.
Remove the core and seeds of the bell pepper, then slice it into thin strips and add to the salad mix.
Slice the red onion thinly and separate the rings, adding them to the salad.
Peel the carrots, then use a peeler or a grater to create thin strips or shreds and add these to the mix.
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Cut the avocado into cubes and gently fold them into the salad.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to ensure even coating and distribution of the vegetables.
Serve the salad immediately for optimal freshness and enjoy!
