Blue Cheese-Pecan-Avocado Salad With Honey Mustard Vinaigrette - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (6 ounce) bag butter lettuce (I like the kind with radicchio in it for color)
1/2 cup pecans, toasted (sometimes I use spicy candied pecans that I get from Trader Joe's)
1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbled
1 avocado, diced
1 small garlic clove, minced (optional)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey (scant)
black pepper
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil

Preparation

Dressing: Whisk together garlic, mustard, honey, and pepper.
Whisk in vinegar and then oil.
Taste and add more mustard, honey, or other ingredients if necessary to your liking. Set aside.
In a salad bowl, combine lettuce, pecans, blue cheese, and avocado.
Add dressing and toss to combine.
