AVOCADO AND SPICY GREENS WITH A PISTACHIO OIL VINAIGRETTE

Avocado and Spicy Greens with a Pistachio Oil Vinaigrette image

This is another simple salad that I really enjoy whenever avocados are at their peak. I'm a firm believer that the only avocado to buy is the Haas variety! Pistachio oil is a darker, denser oil with a deep flavor.

MIXED BABY GREENS AND AVOCADO W LEMON DIJON VINAIGRETTE DRESSING

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!
