This is one of my favorite salads to throw together. The dressing can be used on almost any salad. I never measure when I'm making salad dressings, so the amounts are approximate. Ingredients:
1 (6 ounce) bag butter lettuce (i like the kind with radicchio in it for color) |
1/2 cup pecans, toasted (sometimes i use spicy candied pecans that i get from trader joe's) |
1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbled |
1 avocado, diced |
1 small garlic clove, minced (optional) |
1 tablespoon dijon mustard |
1 tablespoon honey (scant) |
black pepper |
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
Directions:
1. Dressing: Whisk together garlic, mustard, honey, and pepper.
2. Whisk in vinegar and then oil.
3. Taste and add more mustard, honey, or other ingredients if necessary to your liking. Set aside.
4. In a salad bowl, combine lettuce, pecans, blue cheese, and avocado.
5. Add dressing and toss to combine.
