AVOCADO, LETTUCE AND WALNUT SALAD WITH HONEY DRESSING



Avocado, Lettuce and Walnut Salad With Honey Dressing image

This salad has an original taste. Sometimes I do it without avocado. It still tastes good. The honey dressing adds zest to the ordinary lettuce salad. I cook it very often for a long time. I don't know where it came from. My mom cooked it very often.

Categories     Greens

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb different kinds lettuce
1 small onion
4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 dash salt
1 dash ground black pepper
2 teaspoons honey
8 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 lemon, juice of
2 ripe avocados
3 tablespoons chopped walnuts

  • Put lettuce into a salad bowl, then put avocado.
  • Pour the honey dressing.
  • Sprinkle with walnuts.

Tips:

  • For the perfect avocado, choose one that is ripe but not too soft. It should yield to gentle pressure and be dark green or black in color.
  • To easily remove the avocado pit, cut the avocado in half lengthwise and twist the two halves in opposite directions. The pit will come out easily.
  • If you don't have curly leaf lettuce, you can substitute another type of lettuce, such as romaine or butterhead.
  • To make the bacon bits ahead of time, cook the bacon until crispy and then chop it into small pieces. Store the bacon bits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the avocado and bacon by hand.
  • To make a vegetarian version of this salad, omit the bacon and add some crumbled tofu or roasted chickpeas.
