Adding five vegetables and one fruit—avocado—to the romaine lettuce rounds out the nutrition in this side dish salad.

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

2 teaspoons honey

1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 teaspoons extravirgin olive oil

4 cups shredded romaine lettuce

1 cup yellow pear tomatoes, halved

1 cup chopped peeled cucumber

1/2 cup finely chopped orange bell pepper

1/2 cup thinly sliced radishes

2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

1 small yellow squash, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced (about 1 cup)

1/2 cup chopped avocado

Directions:

1. Combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl. Gradually add oil, stirring with a whisk.
2. Combine lettuce and the next 6 ingredients (through squash) in a large bowl. Drizzle dressing over lettuce mixture, and toss gently to coat. Top with avocado.
