Ingredients

5 oz Mixed salad greens
2 Ripe avocados, sliced
1/4 Red onion, thinly shaved
1/2 cup Cucumber, sliced

3 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp Fresh lime juice
1/2 tsp Sea salt
Black pepper to taste

Method

1. Prepare the greens. Rinse and dry them thoroughly to ensure the dressing sticks properly.
2. Whisk the olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until emulsified.
3. Toss the greens, onions, and cucumber with half the dressing in a large bowl.
4. Plate the salad and gently fold in the avocado slices. Drizzle with the remaining dressing before serving.

Stewart's Secret: To keep your avocado from browning, toss the slices directly into the lime dressing before adding them to the greens. The acidity acts as a natural preservative.
