Instructions
Make the honey mustard vinaigrette by combining olive oil, white wine vinegar, honey mustard, shallot, garlic, parsley, honey, sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste, together in a small glass jar.
Seal with a lid and shake very well until emulsified. Set aside to allow flavors time to mingle. Shake well right before using.
Make the cheesy breadcrumbs by heating the olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the panko crumbs and season with garlic powder, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste and cook, stirring often, for 4-5 minutes, or until toasted and lightly golden brown.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the finely grated parmesan cheese and cook, stirring often, for 2-3 minutes or until melted into the bread crumbs. Taste the crumbs and re-season, if needed. Set aside to cool completely.
Make the simple butter lettuce salad by tearing the butter lettuce into pieces and placing it in a bowl.
Drizzle with some of the honey mustard vinaigrette, to taste, and toss to coat evenly. Place the dressed butter lettuce on a serving plate, if desired.
Top the butter lettuce with avocado and radish slices.
Sprinkle the cheesy bread crumbs over the top along with snipped chives then season with freshly cracked black pepper, to taste. Serve immediately with additional honey mustard vinaigrette on the side. Enjoy.
