Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 4 cups Mixed salad greens
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 Avocado, diced
• 1 Cucumber, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the fresh abalone. Clean the abalone by removing any dirt or debris and detach it from its shell if necessary.

Step 2

Slice the abalone into thin, even slices, about 1/4 inch thick, then set aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice, olive oil, and minced garlic to create a simple dressing. Set aside.

Step 4

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small drizzle of olive oil and the sliced abalone.

Step 5

Cook the abalone for 1-2 minutes on each side until just tender, being careful not to overcook. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 6

In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, sliced cucumber, and red onion.

Step 7

Add the cooked abalone slices into the salad, then pour the lemon and olive oil dressing over the top.

Step 8

Toss the salad gently to coat all ingredients with the dressing.

Step 9

Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a refreshing low-carb meal.
