BUTTERHEAD LETTUCE WITH AVOCADO, RADISH AND PECORINO ROMANO
This versatile salad is simple, refreshing and pairs well with just about any other large dish to round out a great meal. The process of creating the dressing, which contains olive oil, Champagne vinegar and fresh lemon juice, is key; be sure to add the oil first, as it protects the lettuce leaves from the wilt-inducing acidity of the vinegar and citrus.
