Spring Clean Reset Salad

• ½ small cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced

• 1 large ripe avocado, peeled and diced

• A pinch of salt

Prepare the Lemon-Parsley Dressing:

In a small blender or food processor, add all of the ingredients for the dressing and blend until smooth and creamy. If you don’t have a small blender, whisking the ingredients together in a bowl works well, too.

NOTE: Pour the olive oil in slowly as the last ingredient while whisking.
