• ⅔ cup Tomatoes

  cherry tomatoes
• 1 small Avocado

  sliced
• ¼ cup Nuts (cashew or any nuts you prefer)
• ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon

  red or white, lemon or lime
• 2 teaspoon agave syrup

  maple syrup, or honey
• ½-1 garlic clove

  minced
• salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

• 1 In a small mixing bowl or jar, whisk together ⅓ cup of extra-virgin olive oil, 3
  teaspoons of Dijon mustard, and 2 tablespoons of vinegar (either red, white, or
  lemon juice—whichever you prefer).
• 2 Add 3 teaspoons of your chosen sweetener—agave syrup, maple syrup, or honey—and
  stir well.
• 3 Toss in the minced garlic clove, and season with a pinch of salt and freshly
  cracked black pepper to taste.
• 4 Whisk or shake the mixture until everything is well combined and emulsified.
• 5 Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
• 6 Wash and dry: Rinse your mixed greens and pat them dry with a paper towel. Dry
  greens are key to a crisp salad!
• 7 Chop (optional): If you're not using pre-chopped greens, roughly chop them into
  bite-sized pieces. Give the cucumber a quick dice, and halve or quarter cherry
  tomatoes.
• 8 Assemble: In a large bowl, combine the greens, cucumber, and tomatoes.
• 9 Avocado magic: Halve, pit, and scoop out your avocado. Dice it or mash it
  slightly with a fork, then add it to the bowl.
• 10 Dress it up: Drizzle with your favorite dressing (store-bought or homemade) and
  toss gently to coat everything.
