3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
Sea salt to taste
Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Halve and pit avocados. Slice into quarters.
Chop romaine lettuce and set aside.
Blanch cherry tomatoes in boiling water for 10 seconds, then halve.
Peel and slice the English cucumber.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped lettuce, cucumber slices, and halved cherry tomatoes.
