  • 4 radishes, sliced (if you like)

Instructions
 

To make the dressing:

  • Put the avocado, yogurt, scallions, vinegar or lemon juice, and garlic in the blender or food processor fitted with the steel blade. Put the top on and process until smooth.
  • Add the olive oil, parsley or basil, tarragon, and salt and process until completely blended. Taste the dressing on a piece of lettuce. Does it need more vinegar? A pinch of salt? If so, add it, then blend again.

To make the salad:

  • Put the lettuce, cucumber, and radishes (if using) in the bowl, drizzle on about one-third of the dressing, and toss with the tongs. Taste a piece of lettuce and add more dressing to the salad if it needs it. Refrigerate the leftover dressing in the lidded container for up to 3 days.
