Wash all ingredients thoroughly. Drain lettuce or put in lettuce spinner until dry.
Steam green beans and asparagus for 2-3 minutes, drain, and then add ice cubes to stop the cooking process. Allow to cool completely.
Prepare all salad ingredients and add to a large mixing bowl excluding avocado. Avocado and dressing should be added just before serving to maintain freshness.
For dressing, use and old jam jar or similar and add lime, olive oil, garlic, xylitol and salt. Always do a taste test before dressing the salad and make any necessary modifications. Shake vigorously.
Just before serving pour shaken dressing over salad and mix thoroughly with salad spoons, then add avocado to serve.
