Louisiana Sunburst Salad Creole Recipes

Steps:

• Note: It is important that at least two kinds of lettuce is used and the lettuce is very dry. I wash the lettuce, spin it in a salad spinner and then lay out on a clean kitchen towel to dry.
• Mix all the dressing ingrediants, including dried basil if using, in a bowl and whisk briskly at least 1 minute. If using fresh basil, toss with the lettuce.
• Toss the lettuce with the tomatoes and the shredded basil if using fresh. Pour salad dressing over and toss thoroughly. Cover with plastic wrap and refridgerate at least 3-4 hours, or longer if you have time.
• To serve, toss the salad again. Use salad bowls and add a couple of tablespoons of the liquid from the bottom of the bowl to each serving.

Steps:

• For the salad, combine cabbage, carrots, onion and bell peppers in a bowl; set aside.
• For the dressing, combine oil, vinegar, dill weed, parsley, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, salt and black pepper in a food processor and process until well mixed. Toss salad with dressing and avocado and mix well.
