Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Rinse the butter lettuce under cold water and gently pat dry with a clean towel. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.

    Halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber into thin rounds, and thinly slice the radishes. Add all the chopped vegetables to the bowl with the lettuce.

  3. 3

    Add Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Cut the avocado into bite-sized pieces and add to the salad.

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  5. 5

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together until well coated.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately, garnished with additional black pepper if desired.
