Step-by-Step Preparation
Prepare the Base: Wash and thoroughly dry the greens. Excess moisture is the enemy of a good salad; it makes the dish watery. Place the salad mix into a deep, aesthetic bowl.
Vegetable Prep: Slice the cucumbers into thin ribbons using a peeler, and cut the radishes into translucent rounds. Peel the avocado and cut it into cubes or thin slices.
The Dressing Magic: In a small jar, combine olive oil, lemon juice, honey, and mustard. Close the lid tightly and shake vigorously (the shaker method) until the emulsion becomes smooth and consistent.
Assembly: Combine the vegetables with the greens, drizzle with the dressing, and toss gently with two spoons. Top with finely chopped green onions and toasted pumpkin seeds.
