- Large platter or bowl for serving
- Small bowl for the dressing
Ingredients
- 3-4 cups butter lettuce
- 2 avocados cut into wedges
- 2-3 radishes thinly sliced
- Kosher salt and pepper to taste
For the dressing:
- 1 shallot roughly chopped
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Instructions
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine 1 chopped shallot, 1 minced garlic clove, ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, ½ cup olive oil, and 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar. Whisk together until well combined or mash with a fork.
- Prepare the Radishes: Place 2-3 thinly sliced radishes into the bowl with the dressing. Toss the radishes to coat them in the dressing and let them sit for about 5 minutes to mellow their bite.
- Assemble the Salad: Arrange 3-4 cups of butter lettuce on a large platter or in a bowl. Scatter the 2 avocado wedges over the lettuce. Season with kosher salt and pepper to taste. Add the dressed radishes along with any remaining dressing.
- Serve the Salad: Gently toss the salad to combine all ingredients and evenly distribute the dressing. If desired, add more dressing to taste and serve immediately.
Notes
- The remaining dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-5 days if you have any leftovers
