Deseed and dice the red bell pepper, then add it to the bowl.

Finely slice the red onion and add it to the salad mixture.

Step 7

Chop the fresh parsley finely and add it to the bowl.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper to create the dressing.

Step 9

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together gently, ensuring the avocado coats the vegetables evenly.

Step 10

Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste before serving immediately.
