Mixed Baby Greens and Avocado W Lemon Dijon Vinaigrette Dressing image

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!
