- 1 tbsp white wine vinegar

- Sea salt and ground pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Add the green onions, zucchini, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and arugula in a large mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, and salt and pepper. Drizzle over the salad and toss to combine.

Recipe Notes
This salad makes a great side dish for four people or add your favorite protein for an entrée salad for two.
If this salad will be consumed over a couple days, I would avoid adding the avocado to the whole bowl and instead, slice up and add to salad on a daily basis to keep the avocado as fresh as possible.
