Wash the asparagus and remove any tough stalks. In a large pan, add about an inch of water and bring to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook just a few minutes until tender and bright green. Drain and plunge in a bowl of ice water to stop the asparagus from cooking.
Drain the asparagus once it's cool and pat dry. Cut into bite-size pieces.
Place the asparagus pieces in a salad bowl. Add the avocado.
Drizzle the salad with the olive oil and lime juice. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
Gently toss the salad.
Add the mint leaves and serve.
