Description

"Five years ago, I threw my first dinner party," writes Kristin McGill of Chicago, Illinois. "It was a memorable night with good friends, great food and lots of wine. That night, cooking became my passion. And despite all of the effort, I still love to throw parties. My husband, Henry, and I host get-togethers once or twice a month. I do most of the preparation — admittedly that's because I enjoy cooking so much that I prefer to have the kitchen to myself. But I have to confess that since I started sharing the counter space, I've discovered we make a great team."

Ingredients

1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
12 Bibb lettuce leaves
2 avocados, peeled, seeded, sliced
1/4 cup dried cranberries
Wedge of Asiago or Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Whisk oil, vinegar, orange juice, and mustard in small bowl to blend. Season dressing with salt and pepper.
  2. Place 3 lettuce leaves on each of 4 plates. Arrange sliced avocados and cranberries atop lettuce. Using vegetable peeler, shave cheese and sprinkle atop each salad. Drizzle salads with dressing.
