Warming the vinaigrette makes this salad special and really brings out the aroma of the fresh basil. It's from Martha Stewart's Quick Cook. I think that adding some grilled shrimp or chicken to this recipe would make a wonderful luncheon dish. Ingredients:
2 avocados, halved and pitted |
soft leaf lettuce |
2 large ripe tomatoes, peeled,seeded and diced |
1/2 cup chopped basil leaves |
4 tablespoons red wine vinegar |
1/2 cup olive oil |
2 tablespoons dijon mustard |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, combine the tomatoes, basil, vinegar, olive oil, mustard and salt and pepper.
2. Heat thoroughly bring to a simmer.
3. Immediately remove from heat.
4. Slice the avocados and place on the soft lettuce on individual salad plates.
5. spoon on the warm vinaigrette and serve immediately.
