MIXED BABY GREENS AND AVOCADO W LEMON DIJON VINAIGRETTE DRESSING
Bright flavors! This is a modification of a Barefoot Contessa recipe. Hers called for endive and more avocados, serving one avocado per person. Mine is more of a tossed and assembled salad using baby greens and fewer avocados. It is a highly requested favorite around our home!

LEMON DIJON SALAD DRESSING
I copied this recipe from a Barefoot Contessa episode on The Food Network. Usually I make only half the recipe, using 2 tablespoons of regular mayonnaise instead of the raw egg yolk...seems to work fine. This is one of my family's favourite salad dressings. I guessed at the total number of servings, based on 2 Tablespoons dressing per salad serving, but this may be more or less than your personal preference dictates.
