- Coriander Leaves: Finely chop the coriander leaves.
- Lemon: Cut the lemon in half and juice it. Make sure to remove any seeds.
- In a small bowl or a jar with a lid, combine the lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, chopped coriander leaves, a dash of salt, and a dash of black pepper. Mix or shake well until the dressing is thoroughly combined.

Tips:
- Make sure to use ripe avocados for the best texture and flavor.
- For added flavor, you can allow the salad to sit for a few minutes before serving to let the ingredients marinate in the dressing.
- Add a pinch of red chili flakes for a bit of extra heat if desired.
- You can also add a handful of crumbled feta cheese for added richness and taste.
- To keep the avocado from browning, you can cut and add it just before serving.
