Ingredients

• 6 cups Mixed greens (spring mix or baby greens)
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 0.25 medium Red onion
• 1 large Avocado
• 0.5 cup Crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese
• 0.25 cup Toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
• 0.5 cup Cilantro lime dressing
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing and drying the mixed greens thoroughly. Place them in a large salad bowl.

Step 2

Slice the cherry tomatoes in half. Thinly slice the cucumber into rounds, and then cut each round in half to form half-moons.

Step 3

Peel the red onion and slice it very thinly into rings or half rings. If desired, soak the sliced onion in cold water for 5 minutes to reduce pungency, then drain well.

Step 4

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice the flesh into thin slices or small chunks. Set aside for topping the salad.

Step 5

In the bowl with the mixed greens, add the halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and red onion. Toss gently to combine.

Step 6

Sprinkle the crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese on top of the salad mix, followed by the toasted pepitas for crunch.

Step 7

Distribute the avocado slices or chunks evenly over the salad.

Step 8

Drizzle the cilantro lime dressing over the salad, starting with 1/4 cup and adding more to taste, ensuring that all the ingredients are lightly coated.

Step 9

Season the salad with salt and black pepper. Toss gently again, ensuring even distribution of the dressing and seasonings.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a fresh side dish or as a light main course.
