Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Lettuce: Rinse the lettuce under cold water, pat dry, and chop into bite-sized pieces.
- Cherry Tomatoes: Rinse the cherry tomatoes and halve them.
- Cucumber: Rinse the cucumber, peel if desired, and cut into quarter slices to fill 1/4 cup.
- Avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Dice into bite-sized pieces.
- Red Pepper: Rinse the red pepper and cut into thin slices.
- In a large salad bowl, add the chopped lettuce.
- Add the halved cherry tomatoes, quartered cucumber slices, diced avocado, and red pepper slices on top of the lettuce.
- Drizzle 1.50 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice over the salad. This will add a refreshing tang and help keep the avocado from browning.
- Gently toss all the ingredients together to coat evenly with lemon juice.
- Serve immediately for the freshest taste.
Tips:
- For the best results, choose ripe but firm avocados to ensure a creamy texture that holds up well in the salad.
- Feel free to add other fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro to enhance the flavor profile of the salad.
- If you prefer a bit more crunch, consider adding some chopped nuts or seeds, such as almonds or sunflower seeds.
- To prevent the avocado from browning, prepare it last and mix it immediately with lemon juice.
- Serve the salad chilled for the most refreshing experience, especially on warm days.
