A delightful salad combining creamy avocado, crunchy pecans, and a tangy honey dressing.
Prepare the dressing by whisking together the minced garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, and freshly ground black pepper in a small bowl.
Use a small whisk or fork to ensure the ingredients are well combined.
Gradually add the red wine vinegar and olive oil to the dressing base, whisking continuously until emulsified.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
In a large salad bowl, combine the fresh butter lettuce, toasted pecans, crumbled blue cheese, and sliced avocado.
Ensure the avocado is ripe but firm for the best texture.
Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Toss the salad just before serving to keep the ingredients fresh.
Serve the salad immediately, garnished with additional pecans or cheese if desired.
Pair with a crusty bread or soup for a complete meal.
