Boston Lettuce Avocado Salad and Lime Dressing
Recipe courtesy Dave Lieberman

Ingredients
For the salad:
2 small to medium heads Boston lettuce, discard any wilted leaves
1 Hass avocado, pitted
1 large bunch scallions, thinly sliced
Leaves from 1 bunch cilantro, finely chopped

For the dressing:
2 limes, juiced
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar

About 20 grinds fresh black pepper
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard

Directions
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.
