Romaine & Avocado Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

SALAD
1 large head romaine lettuce, outside leaves discarded
1 large tomatoes, chopped
1 small red bell pepper, julienned
1/2 small avocado, cut into chunks
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped walnuts (optional)
DRESSING
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
extra virgin olive oil, to taste
salt and black pepper, to taste

Preparation

Remove outer leaves of lettuce heads and discard. Cut off tops of leaves and discard. (Tops are bitter.)
Chop remaining inner leaves. Rinse in cold water, and dry (this will keep the flavor of the salad from getting diluted).
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss with salad greens, red bell pepper, tomato and avocado chunks. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts if desired.
Serve immediately, and enjoy!
