I will make this. And will follow 'plating' suggestions. Restaurants want to make their presentations look nice. I do too.
I don't get the need for the overly precious plating; toss greens, radish, onion, and dressing. Plate, then add avocado.
Looks quite lovely; tastes quite boring.
David! Yearning for Taza De Oro! Where to go instead? Anyone? that place was perfect! cheers.
This salad, as a contrast, makes a great complement to rich foods like the blini topped with caviar, lox and/or smoked trout that I served for New Year's. I used romaine little gems, so it was practically finger food with avocado, radish and onion nestled in every leaf. Plus the crunchiness is a good contrast to blini. It also works as a pairing with fried chicken. Great presentation too!
Want to spiff up the plating? Use red onion. Want less boring dressing? Sub your favorite balsamic vinegar for lemon juice. Want to add protein? Add toasted pine nuts. Great, adaptable recipe.
