Wash your mint leaves, shake off the excess water and pat dry. Pick the mint leaves from the stems.
Wash and peel your avocado then cut into large dice, squeeze some lemon juice on top to prevent browning.

Notes

If you are unable to find raspberry vinegar then a great alternative would be to use a sherry vinegar or a red wine vinegar with 2-3 fresh strawberries.

Add all the dressing ingredients to your blender swap the raspberry vinegar for, add 2-3 sliced strawberries and blitz well to combine. Then strain the dressing to get rid of the strawberry seeds.
