Your mother is in my book club where “reading is optional and stories are mandatory.” We met last night and I provided this salad which your mother though you might enjoy. It easy and definitely refreshing.
Chopped romain lettuce Shaved fennel, I use a mandoline Sliced avocado
Simple Lemon Vinaigrette 1/2 tsp. finely grated lemon zest or to taste, I use more 2 TBS freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 tsp. sugar 1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard (I used more) 1/4 tsp. fine sea salt or to taste 3-4 TBS extra-virgin olive oil Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Mix all together. Dressing can be made ahead and will last up to 3 days in fridge. Give it a try and let me know what you think. I follow and truly enjoy your blog.
