Yield: 1 serving

This is one of my lunch staples—so simple and easy, yet satisfying. The avocado becomes creamy enough to eliminate the need for additional dressing.

Ingredients

• 3 cups mesclun or torn leaf lettuce
• 1 Roma tomato, chopped
• 1/2 avocado, chopped
• 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice
• Dash salt

Equipment

• salad spinner
• measuring cups
• cutting board
• chef’s knife, 8-inch
• citrus juicer or reamer
• measuring spoons
• medium bowl

Put all the ingredients in a medium bowl. Toss with your hands, very gently massaging the avocado into the lettuce. Serve immediately.
