Butter Lettuce Salad With Avocado Buttermilk Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• Combine avocado, garlic, dill, lemon juice, buttermilk, and 2 tablespoons water in a blender; puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. (If dressing is too thick, add more water, a tablespoon at a time.)
• Toss together lettuce, cucumber, bacon, and radishes in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with 1/4 cup dressing. Serve remaining dressing on the side, or refrigerate in an airtight container up to 2 days.

Steps:

• Pull the lettuce leaves from the head, rinse gently under cold water, and lay out on clean towels to dry. Use a spoon to remove the flesh in 1 piece from each half of the avocado. Thinly slice the avocado flesh into thin wedges.
• Whisk together all the dressing ingredients.
• Arrange the lettuce leaves on a plate and top with the avocado wedges, scallion, and cilantro. Finish with a healthy drizzling of the dressing.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together buttermilk, crème fraîche, and lemon juice; generously season with salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in oil. Gently toss lettuce leaves and hearts and sliced fennel with dressing, then add half each of fennel fronds, parsley, and marjoram and toss again.
• Arrange salad on a platter; sprinkle with lemon zest and remaining fennel fronds and herbs. Season to taste. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Add the parsley, yogurt, chives, lemon juice, mayonnaise, tarragon, salt, pepper, garlic and scallion to a blender. Turn the blender on low and gradually increase the speed. Blend until bright green and smooth, about 20 seconds.
• To assemble, add the torn butter lettuce to a large serving bowl. Drizzle with half the dressing. Serve with extra dressing on the side.

Steps:

• Whisk together the vinegar and mustard with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Continue whisking and add the oils in a slow, steady stream until the mixture is emulsified.
• Toss the dressing with the lettuce, radishes, scallion, and dill. Top with the avocado and serve.

Steps:

• For the dressing: In a food processor, combine all the ingredients and puree until smooth and creamy.
• Core the lettuce heads and separate them into individual leaves. In a large bowl, toss the lettuce leaves with enough of the dressing to coat them lightly; you may not need it all. Arrange the lettuce on a platter. Sprinkle with chives and parsley, then with chopped egg. Scatter the cherry tomatoes around the lettuce. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy with Cakebread Cellars Napa Valley Chardonnay or another elegant, cool-climate Chardonnay.

Steps:

• In a large bowl add the fennel, lettuce, tarragon and scallion. Set aside.
• Add lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper to a small bowl and whisk together.
• While whisking constantly, slowly add the oil. When well combined pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss to coat. Top with the Pecorino if desired and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend on high speed until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Adjust the seasoning, to taste.
• Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until ready to use. (The dressing can be made up to 4 hours in advance.).
