Eating to power weightlifting workout

I'm a 3rd shifter and so I wake up in afternoon and before weightlifting I make a big salad every day because I enjoy it. Also, between making it and eating it; it takes me about 1.5 hours so I do not have time at work to eat it so the obvious choice is to eat it prior to work and I always eat prior to workout because it seems more satisfying to me. I'll typically have about 1.5 pounds of lettuce, 250 to 400 grams avocado blended for dressing with some chunks too, and one to three more vegetables like red onion, celery, and carrot for example. For my workout I use Kickoff App that a Certified Personal Trainer helps to setup for me with an exercise regiment she helped to designed to help me meet my fitness and body composition goals. For cardio I run 2 to 3 miles per week on average with some fasting running in there too so the majority of my workouts working out two days in a row with one day off so most weeks 4 to 5 days a week working out consist of weightlifting. So I wanted to ask the community if this salad is good to provide the energy and power needed to weightlift or if some better alternative of a meal would be better suited?
