Ingredients
For the Green Goddess Dressing:
1 1/4 cups packed fresh watercress (or baby spinach)
3/4 cup packed fresh parsley
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh chervil (or more parsley)
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh tarragon
3 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh chives
2 teaspoons capers
2 anchovy fillets
1 small clove garlic
2 scallions, chopped
Pinch of sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 teaspoons white wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2/3 cup mayonnaise
1/2 ripe avocado
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
For the Wedge Salad:
3 strips thick-cut bacon
1 1/2 heads iceberg lettuce, cut into 6 wedges
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 ripe avocado, diced
1/4 cup small chervil sprigs
2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
1 scallion very thinly sliced
Directions
- Make the dressing: Combine the watercress, parsley, chervil, tarragon, chives, capers, anchovies, garlic, scallions and sugar in a blender or food processor.
- Add the lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, mayonnaise and avocado and puree until pale green and very smooth; if too thick, thin with water 1 teaspoon at a time. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Make the salad: Cook the bacon in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until browned and crisp, turning, about 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate, then crumble.
- Arrange the iceberg lettuce wedges on a platter and season with salt and pepper. Spoon some dressing over the lettuce. Top with the diced avocado, bacon, chervil, chives and scallions.
