Salad



Forty Shades of Green Salad

For the salad:

1 large head of Boston lettuce, largest outer leaves

¾ cup loosely packed fresh parsley leaves.

Sheila likes a mix of flat and curly parsley.

1 large (or 1 ½ small) Belgian endive halved

lengthwise, cored and thinly sliced crosswise (1/4 inch)

2 to 3 scallions (white and light green part only),

very thinly sliced on the diagonal

1 small ripe but firm avocado.

Vinaigrette:

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoons fresh lime juice

1 teaspoon honey

big pinch of kosher salt

1 coarse grind of fresh pepper

In a small bowl, combine all the vinaigrette ingredients

and whisk until thoroughly emulsified. (It will look

creamy.)




Pretty table setting and also a fan for Alcy!
