Ingredients
- 1 head romaine lettuce
- 1/4 large red onion sliced thin
- 4 ounces goat cheese crumbled
- 6 ounces fresh raspberries more to taste
- 2 Sliced avocados more to taste
- 1 lemon for preserving avocado, optional
- freshly cracked pepper
- salt
- poppyseed dressing
Instructions
- Wash, chop, and dry the romaine lettuce. I love to use my salad spinner for this step! Place in a large serving bowl.
- Slice the red onion as thinly as you can. You can use as much or as little as you want.
- Add the red onions, goat cheese, and raspberries to the bowl. You can use as many raspberries as you like. (I bought the huge package at Costco) Toss the salad gently.
- Slice the avocados and add to the top of the salad. If you have any amount of time in between making this salad and serving it, squeeze a lemon directly over the avocados so that they don't brown.
- Sprinkle freshly cracked pepper over the salad, especially the avocados. Sprinkle them with a little salt too.
- You can either serve the salad with poppyseed dressing on the side, or add about 1/3 to 1/2 cup dressing (just eyeball it) to the bowl and toss.
- This salad goes really well with with Simply Amazing Grilled Chicken Marinade! Add in this Best Potato Salad Recipe and you've got a summer feast on your hands.
Notes
- Instead of using romaine, try using a combo of butter lettuce and a spring mix. You can swap out the raspberries for blueberries or blackberries, etc. If you don't have goat cheese, use feta.
