Butter Lettuce With Orange Muscat Champagne Vinaigrette image

This simple recipe (with a few of my own embellishments) is printed on the side label of a bottle of Orange Muscat Champagne Vinegar from Trader Joes. I think a scattering of toasted pepitas would be extra nice. Posting the recipe for all those JoeHeads out there...you know who you are!

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 head butter lettuce
1 avocado, peeled, pitted and thinly sliced
1 cup jicama, cut into matchsticks
1 orange, peeled and segmented (I used Valencia)
1/4 cup red onion, diced small
2 tablespoons orange muscat champagne vinaigrette
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (add more if you want-I like my vinaigrette on the lighter side usually)
salt and pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon stone ground mustard (my addition for a bit more zing)
fresh apple mint leaf (or pineapple)
2 tablespoons toasted pepitas (optional)

Steps:

  • Please note that all ingredient amounts are estimated.
  • Prepare the vinaigrette and set aside. Best prepared 1 hour in advance.
  • Gently toss the butter lettuce, avocado, jicama, orange segments, red onion and vinaigrette together in a large bowl.
  • Divide and arrange on 4 salad plates.
  • Garnish each serving with apple mint leaves and pepitas.
  • Pass the dressing.
