Blue Cheese-Pecan-Avocado Salad With Honey Mustard Vinaigrette image

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.

1 avocado, diced
1 small garlic clove, minced (optional)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey (scant)
black pepper
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

  • Whisk in vinegar and then oil.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover avocado. I also like to add some crumbled bacon or chopped hard-boiled eggs for extra flavor.

This salad is so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can use whatever greens I have on hand. I also like to add some grilled chicken or shrimp to make it a more substantial meal.

I'm not usually a fan of blue cheese, but this salad changed my mind. The dressing was perfectly balanced and the pecans added a nice crunch. Will definitely make again!
