Sally's Little Gem Salad


Ingredients:
Little Gem lettuce (or Boston lettuce, but I prefer the tighter leaves of the little gems)
Leaves must be separated and washed and pulled in small pieces (not to small)
baby spinach leaves
pink grapefruit segments either fresh or from a jar (I mostly use from the jar)
avocado (the darker type - more flavor)soak the pieces in some of the grapefruit juice
dried sweetened cranberrries
sliced almonds lightly toasted

Dressing:
2 parts extra virgin olive oil
to 1 1/2 parts of white balsamic vinegar, better even white balsamic raspberry vinegar
a pinch of salt, white sugar, a clove of garlic, pressed

Add dressing to salad and do not mix. When salad is served, it mixes automatically
I enjoy making this lettuce salad for company and it is always much appreciated.
