Mixed Salad with Avocado Dressing
Ensalada Mixta Con Aderezo de Aguacate
Mixed Salad with Avocado Dressing
1 large head of romaine lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
1 1/2 avocados, cut into thick slices
2 large firm, ripe tomatoes, cut into wedges
3 green onions, sliced (optional)
DRESSING
2 Tbsp mayonnaise
6 cloves garlic
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 Tbsp lime juice
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 bay leaf
1/2 avocado, peeled and pitted
1/2 cup water
1 cup oil
To make the dressing, puree the mayonnaise, garlic, onion, lime juice, thyme, salt, pepper, bay leaf, avocado and water in a blender. With the motor running, add the oil in a thin stream until the mixture forms an emulsion, about 2 minutes. Chill.
Arrange the lettuce on a platter and top with the avocadoes and tomatoes. Cover with the dressing, garnish with the green onions and serve immediately.
