INGREDIENTS

  • 2 fruit without skin and seeds California Avocados
  • 1 cucumber (8-1/4") Cucumber (with Peel)
  • 0 1/3 cup Real Mayonnaise
  • 1 medium Red Onions
  • 0 4/24 serving Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce
  • 1 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 0 1/4 tsp Cumin
  • 1 head Cos or Romaine Lettuce
  • 1 head, large Iceberg Lettuce (Includes Crisphead Types)
  • 12 medium (3/4" to 1" dia) Radishes
  • 3 medium whole (2-3/5" dia) Red Tomatoes
  • 3 fl oz Fresh Lime Juice

DIRECTIONS

Chipotle en adobo is dried, smoked jalapeno chiles in a sauce made from vinegar and spices. You can find it in jars and cans in the Mexican foods section of most well-stocked supermarkets. Remove the seeds if you don't like too much heat.

  1. For the dressing: finely chop 2 tablespoons of the onion and combine with the avocados, mayonnaise, lime juice, chipotle en adobo, salt, and cumin in a blender. Process until smooth, stopping to scrape sides as necessary.
  2. Thinly slice the remainder of the onion. Toss with the two lettuces, sliced radishes, tomato wedges and cucumber.
  3. Add dressing and toss gently to coat.
