Salad Base

Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Prepare the Lettuce

    Rinse the fresh local lettuce under cold water to remove any dirt. Spin dry in a salad spinner or pat dry with paper towels. Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place in a large salad bowl.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and carefully scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Slice the avocado into thin wedges and set aside.

  3. 3

    Add Pickled Red Onion

    Spoon the pickled red onion over the lettuce in the salad bowl.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Gently toss the lettuce, avocado slices, and pickled red onion together in the bowl to mix evenly.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 5

    Mix the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the golden balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, honey, and Dijon mustard until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Final Assembly

  1. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to coat the ingredients evenly with the dressing.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve the Georgia Local Lettuce Salad immediately, garnished with additional avocado slices if desired.
