Salad Base

Roasted Shallot Vinaigrette

Method

Salad Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large salad bowl, combine the mixed local lettuces and set aside.

  2. 2

    Slice the Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Slice the avocado into thin wedges and add to the bowl with the lettuces.

  3. 3

    Add Pickled Red Onion

    Add the pickled red onion to the bowl with the lettuces and avocado. Gently toss to combine.

Vinaigrette Preparation

  1. 4

    Roast the Shallots

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and slice the shallots in half. Place them cut-side up on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and roast for about 20-25 minutes until they are golden and tender.

  2. 5

    Make the Vinaigrette

    In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted shallots, olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and well combined.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the roasted shallot vinaigrette over the salad mixture in the bowl. Toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Serve the salad immediately, garnished with additional pickled red onions if desired.
