What you'll need

  • Salad spinner — Dries greens so dressing clings instead of pooling at the bottom.
  • Mandoline slicer — Uniform thin slices of fennel, cucumber, and radish in seconds.
  • Large wood salad bowl — Season it — oil from dressings builds flavor in the wood over time.

Instructions

  1. Wash and thoroughly dry the organic spring mix salad greens.
  2. Dice the avocados and cucumbers, and halve the cherry tomatoes.
  3. In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, jalapeño (if using), sea salt, cracked pepper, and ground cumin to make the lime-cilantro dressing.
  4. Place the greens, avocado, cucumber, tomatoes, and diced onions into a large mixing bowl.
  5. Add the toasted pepitas for protein-rich crunch.
  6. Drizzle with the dressing and toss gently without smashing the avocado pieces.
  7. Serve immediately.

FAQ

Is the guacamole pre-made?

No, the avocados are freshly diced in this recipe for a fresh, homemade flavor.

Can I use another type of olive oil?

Extra virgin olive oil is recommended for its natural and clean taste, but you can substitute with another cold-pressed organic olive oil if preferred.
