toast the pinenuts in the oven on a baking tray for 10 - 15 minutes until golden brown.
Put into a bowl or jug - balsamic, lemon juice, olive oil , salt and pepper and whisk and then add the pinenuts.
Put the leaves in a salad bowl with the copped up sundried tomatoes and cucumber. If you want to prepare the avocado in advance then either skin and chop and put in a little lemon juice or blanch in boiling water for 30 seconds and then remove the skin (these methods help stop the avocado from going brown)
At the last minute when you are about to serve add the dressing and toss the salad
