Begin by washing all the vegetables thoroughly under cold running water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a large salad bowl, combine the baby spinach and mixed spring greens as the base of your salad.
Slice the cucumber in half lengthwise, then into thin half-moon slices. Add to the bowl.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the salad bowl.
Thinly slice the radishes and add them to the mix. For a more delicate taste, use a mandoline slicer.
Peel and pit the avocado. Slice it into thin wedges and gently stir it into the salad.
Thinly slice half of a small red onion and add to the salad.
Chop the fresh parsley finely and sprinkle over the salad ingredients.
In a small bowl or jar, 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 combine, ensuring all components are evenly coated with the dressing.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving. Toss again just before serving to refresh.
