Peel the carrot, then use a julienne peeler or grater to create thin strips. Add the carrot strips to the salad.

Step 6

Peel and thinly slice the red onion and add it to the bowl.

Step 7

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, peel, and slice it. Gently toss the avocado slices with the other vegetables in the salad bowl.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss all the ingredients until they are well coated.
