Cheer with us if you agree, it’s time to lighten up! \u00a0Here’s our nod to a perfect Springtime salad,\u00a0Avocado Butter Lettuce Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette.<\/p>\n

It’s absolutely luscious with creamy goat cheese and ripe avocados, toasted sliced almonds, and a light, lemony, dressing that is so refreshing.<\/p>\n

I remember my first experience with butter lettuce. \u00a0We were visiting friends in Germany, who plucked a beautiful head from their vegetable garden. \u00a0I was totally smitten.<\/p>\n

It is a little pricey, but I was delighted to find it reasonably priced at my Costco. \u00a0Give it a try, I’m confident you’ll agree with me, butter lettuce is worth paying a bit more for!<\/p>\n

Wash and chop the butter lettuce, I always use this lettuce knife<\/a>,<\/strong> that helps to prevent rust.<\/p>\n

Use 1 to 2 heads, depending on how large you would like to make each serving.<\/p>\n

Mound lettuce on plates with a scoop of ch\u00e9vre on each plate.<\/p>\n

Using a microplane<\/a><\/strong> or zester, zest the lemon over the top of the salad.<\/p>\n

Combine vinaigrette ingredients in a jar and shake until combined.<\/p>\n

Garnish with avocado chunks and drizzle lemon vinaigrette over salad. \u00a0Top with toasted almonds and serve.<\/p>\n
