Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Dice it into small cubes and add to the salad.
For the dressing, start by zesting and juicing the lemon. Place the zest and juice into a blender or food processor.
Add the fresh parsley, fresh basil, and garlic clove to the blender.
Add the extra virgin olive oil, white wine vinegar, water, salt, and ground black pepper to the blender.
Blend the dressing ingredients until smooth and creamy.
Pour the green goddess dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat the vegetables evenly.
Just before serving, sprinkle the pumpkin seeds over the salad for a crunchy finish.
