Add a photoI'm a sucker for fresh butter lettuce with citrus and avocado. I adapted this recipe (rather major adaptions) from a recipe in the America's Test Kitchen Menu's cookbook. I thought the salad, and the dressing in particular, was just amazing. The mayo, Dijon and honey balance nicely with tanginess of the tangerine juice. If you are in the mood for a bright and flavorful dressing, look no further!
Ingredientes
- FOR THE DRESSING
- 1/2 cup fresh tangerine juice (sub orange juice if tangerines aren't available)
- 1/4 cusp white wine vinegar
- 1 shallot, minced (or 2 Tbsp minced red onion)
- 2 Tbsp minced fresh mint (a must!)
- 2 tsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- FOR THE SALAD
- 3 heads Butter lettuce, torn in bite sized pieces
- 2 medium avocados, chopped
- 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 cup toasted, sliced almonds
- 1 grapefruit, separated into pieces with skin removed (optional)
- 3 ounces feta, crumbled (optional)
Direcciones
- Put dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together, or put in an emulsifier and plunge until fully mixed.
- In a salad bowl, gently toss the lettuce, avocados, tomatoes, almonds, and optional grapefruit and feta.
- Re-emulsify or whisk the dressing, then drizzle over the salad and toss gently to coat.
