1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 c extra virgin olive oil

for salad
1 avocado, peeled and cut into bite-size pieces
1 head (about 12 ounces) butter or boston lettuce
12 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1/4 c loosely packed cilantro leaves
3 ounces ricotta salata cheese parmegiano reggiano cheese
white parts of 4 scallions
Directions:
1. To make dressing:
2. In a mini food processor or blender, add scallions, 1 tsp jalapeno pepper, cilantro, lime juice, and salt.
3. Pulse to combine.

5. Once dressing is well blended, taste and adjust spice/heat level with additional jalapeno.
6. Add extra oil if needed.

12. Place avocado in center
