2. For the Lemon Mint Dressing, Blend the lemon juice with the lemon zest, mint, tarragon, Dijon, and salt in a food processor until smooth. Add in the olive oil and pulse a few more times until emulsified. Serve immediately. If you don`t have a food processor you can blend the dressing with a whisk. 3. Add the avocado, sliced almonds and Lemon Mint Dressing, and gently toss until combined.
