Lemony Romaine and Avocado Salad

Lemon Vinaigrette:

• ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 1-2 tsp honey, to taste
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 clove of garlic, finely minced or grated
• Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste

Salad:

• 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
• 1 avocado, sliced
• ½ cup pomegranate arils
•  ¼ cup pine nuts, toasted
• 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
• Freshly ground black pepper

How to Make a Lemony Romaine and Avocado Salad

Make the lemon vinaigrette by combining the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, Dijon, garlic, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste, together in a small glass jar. Seal with a lid and shake well; set aside to allow the flavors time to mingle.

To serve the salad place the romaine in a large bowl then drizzle a little of the well-shaken lemon vinaigrette, to taste, on the lettuce then toss to coat evenly.

Place the dressed lettuce on a serving plate. Top with avocado slices, pomegranate arils, toasted pine nuts, chives, and lots of freshly cracked black pepper.

Serve immediately with the remaining lemon vinaigrette on the side. Enjoy.
