Time 5m

Yield 2 1/2 cups prepared dressing

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 heads bib lettuce, cleaned and dried
4 medium red vine ripe tomatoes, cut into wedges
2 medium yellow vine ripe tomatoes, cut into wedges
1/2 large red onion, thinly sliced plus 3 tablespoons chopped red onion
1 ripe avocado
3 lemons, juiced
Handful fresh cilantro leaves, 2 tablespoons
1 teaspoon coarse salt
3 tablespoons water, a couple of splashes
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Build your salad on a large platter. Use bib lettuce as the bed, then layer the tomatoes and scatter the red onions around the platter.
  • Cut the avocado in half lengthwise cutting around the pit. Separate the halves and scoop out the pit with a spoon, then use the spoon to scoop the avocado from its skin. Place the avocado in a food processor bowl and combine with lemon juice, chopped red onion, cilantro, coarse salt and water. Grind until the avocado mixture is smooth, then stream oil into dressing. Adjust seasonings and pour over salad, then serve. Dressing may be stored 3 or 4 days in airtight container.

I'm allergic to avocados, so I substituted them with diced cucumbers. It was still really good!

This salad is way too expensive for what you get. I could make a better salad at home for half the price.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salad didn't turn out as good as the picture. It was still edible, but it wasn't great.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I think I'll add some chopped cilantro and jalapenos next time to give it a little more flavor.

This salad is a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I'll add a little bit of honey to balance it out next time.

I used a store-bought avocado dressing for this salad, and it was really good. But I think next time I'll try making my own.

I'm not a huge fan of raw onions, so I omitted them from my salad. It was still delicious.
