Ingredients
1 large butter lettuce head, torn into pieces
2 radishes, thinly sliced
1 ripe avocado, diced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Wash and dry butter lettuce leaves thoroughly.
Whisk together olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl to create the dressing.
In a separate bowl, combine minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Toss torn lettuce with 1 tablespoon of the honey-Dijon dressing to coat evenly.
In a serving bowl, layer lettuce with sliced radishes, cubed avocado, and chopped chives.
Drizzle remaining dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.

Notes
For optimal texture, avoid over-tossing the salad after adding the dressing.
Chill the assembled salad for 10 minutes to let flavors meld.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days (best eaten fresh within 12-24 hours).
