Ingredients

• 4 cups Mixed greens (spinach, arugula, and romaine)
• 1 large Cucumber
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 large Bell pepper
• 0.25 small Red onion
• 4 medium Radishes
• 1 large Avocado
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by thoroughly washing all the vegetables under cold water and patting them dry with a clean towel.

Step 2

In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed greens.

Step 3

Peel the cucumber if desired, then slice it thinly. Add to the salad bowl.

Step 4

Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl.

Step 5

Deseed the bell pepper and slice it into thin strips, then add to the salad.

Step 6

Thinly slice the red onion and add a quarter of it to the salad bowl to ensure it doesn't overpower the other flavors.

Step 7

Thinly slice the radishes and add them next.

Step 8

Cut the avocado in half, remove the seed, and carefully slice the flesh into cubes. Add to the salad.

Step 9

Chop the fresh parsley finely and sprinkle over the salad.

Step 10

In a small bowl or jar, combine lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk or shake well to emulsify the dressing.

Step 11

Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss all the ingredients until well combined and the dressing is evenly distributed.

Step 12

Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Step 13

Optionally, garnish with additional parsley before serving for extra color and flavor.
