Romaine & Avocado Salad
If you don’t know what to serve with dinner tonight …
This salad is a good healthy start for any meal. It is a quick-and-easy way to add flavor and nutrition to your meal all year round. Enjoy!
Prep and Cook Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 large head romaine lettuce, outside leaves discarded
- 1 large tomato, chopped
- 1 small red bell pepper, julienned into 1 inch long pieces
- 1/2 small avocado, cut into chunks
- 2 TBS coarsely chopped walnuts (optional)
- Dressing
- 2 TBS lemon juice
- 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
- Extra virgin olive oil to taste
- Salt and cracked black pepper to taste
Directions:
- Remove outer leaves of lettuce heads and discard. Cut off tops of leaves and discard as they are bitter.
- Chop remaining inner leaves. Rinse in cold water, and if you have a salad spinner, spin lettuce to dry. If you don’t have one, remove as much water as possible in a colander and then dry with paper towels. This will keep the flavor of the salad from getting diluted.
- Whisk together lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper in a small bowl and toss with salad greens. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts if desired.
