- Peel and slice the cucumber and your scallions
- Start slicing your leafy veggies and make a pile of it all in the center of your chopping board, and continue chopping it all.
- Halve the avocado and remove the flesh. (I like to carve a cross hatch with the knife and then remove it all with a tablespoon.)
- Add the avocado the the pile.
- Create a large mound of all of your veggies, then create a well in the center and drizzle in 3 tablespoons of EVOO, 1 tablespoon red wine Vinegar, and one teaspoon mustard.
- Salt and Pepper to taste and toss so everything is well coated.
