Ingredients

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped parsley
1/2 small clove garlic, finely chopped
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
I tablespoon finely chopped onion
Dash Tabasco sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 pound small okra pods, topped and tailed

I red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, white pith removed and cut into fine julienne

Steps:

In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, salt, pepper, parsley, and garlic. Drizzle in the olive oil in a thin stream, whisking constantly, until it is completely emulsified. Stir in the onion and Tabasco.
In a large saucepan, bring a generous amount of water to the boil. Plunge in the okra and cook for 3 minutes. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
In a large heavy skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Toss in the okra and sear it, tossing frequently, for about 1 1/2 minutes, or until golden. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool.
Arrange the lettuce leaves in a large serving bowl and scatter the okra on top. Pour the dressing over, toss together and scatter the red pepper julienne on top.
