How to Make Cuban Salad

  1. Blend 2 cloves garlic, 1 tablespoon of your favorite citrus juice (lime or orange work well), 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.
  2. With the blender running on low, slowly drizzle in ½ cup of olive oil until emulsified.
  3. Prepare the salad: Wash and chop 5 cups of your favorite lettuce (Romaine or Butter Lettuce recommended).
  4. Arrange the lettuce on a serving platter.
  5. Slice 1 large tomato and arrange the slices down the center of the lettuce.
  6. Place 1 cup of thinly sliced radishes on either side of the tomato slices.
  7. Top the tomatoes with ½ cup thinly sliced red onion rings.
  8. Arrange ½ a ripe avocado, sliced, around the outer edge of the plate.
  9. Serve the dressing on the side for guests to add to taste.
