Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Wash and dry the Little Gem lettuce, then separate the leaves. Peel and julienne the jicama. Finely chop the jalapeño, removing seeds for less heat. Dice the avocado.

  2. 2

    Toast the Breadcrumbs

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the sourdough breadcrumbs and toast until golden brown, stirring frequently, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the Little Gem lettuce leaves, jicama, jalapeño, and avocado. Drizzle with Green Goddess dressing and toss gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Top the salad with the toasted sourdough breadcrumbs and serve immediately.
