Ingredients:
Instructions:

- Rinse the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half.
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and dice the flesh into cubes.
- Cut the pomegranate in half and remove the seeds. You can do this by holding a pomegranate half over a bowl and tapping the back with a wooden spoon to release the seeds.
- In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, olive oil, and vinegar. Whisk the ingredients together to create the dressing.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, and pomegranate seeds.
- Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients.
- Gently toss the salad to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and vibrant colors of the salad.
Tips:
- Choose ripe but firm avocados to ensure they hold their shape in the salad.
- To easily remove pomegranate seeds, cut the fruit in half, hold it over a bowl with the cut side down, and tap the skin with a spoon to release the seeds.
- If preparing in advance, add the avocado just before serving to prevent it from browning.
- Feel free to add your favorite herbs, such as cilantro or mint, for an extra burst of flavor.
- Use a high-quality extra virgin olive oil for the best taste in your dressing.
- If you prefer a sweeter dressing, consider adding a touch of honey or maple syrup.
