- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
Wash and dry the mixed greens, then place them in a large salad bowl.

Peel the cucumber if desired, slice it into thin rounds, and add it to the salad.
Dice the red bell pepper into small cubes and add it to the bowl.
Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the salad for a mild, tangy kick.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and cut it into cubes. Gently add it to the salad.
