• 2 to 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves, to your taste

2. To assemble the salad, core the lettuce and cut into a number of thin wedges.

4. Place a few tomato wedges in one of the spaces.
5. Score the flesh of the avocado down to the skin.
6. Scoop out the flesh and scatter the avocado dice in the other space between the wedges.
7. Make the dressing by blending all of the dressing ingredients together in a medium-size bowl.
