Instructions
To make the salad
- Gather and wash each ingredient you plan to use for the salad so you have everything in one place.
- Dice each vegetable into ⅛" to ¼" cubes. This is just a recommendation. The bigger point is to chop each vegetable into the same size dice so each bite can include the taste and texture of the various ingredients.
- Add each ingredient, one at a time to your wooden salad bowl so you can edit the volume as you build the salad. This way, you can always decide to add just a little bit more or less of an ingredient as you go to arrive at the perfect amount of salad.
- Toss everything except the avocado together until evenly combined. Serve immediately
- Dice the avocado and serve on the side so you can add as much as you'd like without losing the texture of the avocado as it mixes with other ingredients.
To make the dressing
- Add all ingredients to a high speed blender and blend until liquified. Use immediately.
