Pinch of sugar

Make the dressing: Combine the watercress, parsley, chervil, tarragon, chives, capers, anchovies, garlic, scallions and sugar in a blender or food processor.
Add the lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, mayonnaise and avocado and puree until pale green and very smooth; if too thick, thin with water 1 teaspoon at a time. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
Make the salad: Cook the bacon in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until browned and crisp, turning, about 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate, then crumble.
Arrange the iceberg lettuce wedges on a platter and season with salt and pepper. Spoon some dressing over the lettuce. Top with the diced avocado, bacon, chervil, chives and scallions.

Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 medium avocados, pitted, peeled, grilled and chopped into cubes
2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice
1 tablespoon roughly chopped basil leaves
1 tablespoon roughly chopped tarragon leaves
1 clove garlic, minced
1/8 teaspoon asorbic acid or Vitamin C
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Grey salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 head iceberg lettuce cut into 5 wedges

Steps:

In a food processor, combine avocado cubes, lemon or lime juice, basil, tarragon, garlic, and asorbic acid. Blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly pour in olive oil to make a thick, creamy dressing. If dressing is too thick to pour, add water, a few tablespoons at a time, to reach the desired consistency. Pour into a bowl, season, to taste, with salt and pepper and cover. Refrigerate until chilled.
To serve, pour dressing over iceberg wedges.
