STEP BY STEP

Let’s make it.

Separate 8 lettuce leaves and dry them well. Chop any remaining listed lettuce into the filling.
Peel the lime and remove tough membrane and seeds. Finely chop and weigh the edible flesh, retaining all its juice.
Gently combine avocado, cucumber, tomato and chopped lettuce with lime, oil, parsley, salt and pepper.
Fill the leaves and divide into 4 servings, two cups per person. Serve chilled soon after assembling.

Kitchen notes

The lime is weighed as edible flesh and juice, without peel.
Keep refrigerated at 40°F (4°C) or below until serving. Refrigerate perishables within 2 hours, or 1 hour above 90°F (32°C). Serve chilled; do not leave a buffet platter out for longer.
