1
Prepare the Salad Base
Wash the butter lettuce thoroughly and gently dry it. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large salad bowl.
2
Prepare the Avocado
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Cut the avocado into slices and set aside.
3
Slice the Radishes
Wash the radishes and trim the ends. Slice them thinly and add them to the bowl with the lettuce.
4
Add Croutons and Herbs
Add the croutons to the salad and sprinkle the fines herbes over the top.
5
Make the Dijon Vinaigrette
In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste.
6
Combine and Serve
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad, toss gently to combine, and serve immediately with avocado slices on top.
