Directions
- 1
Wash and thoroughly dry the butter lettuce, then tear it into uniform bite-sized pieces, ensuring each leaf is ready to embrace the dressing.
- 2
In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the peeled avocado, Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, white wine vinegar, minced garlic, parsley, and chives.
- 3
Process the ingredients until a smooth, vibrant green mixture begins to form, scraping down the sides as needed.
- 4
With the processor running on low, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil until the dressing is emulsified and creamy, about 1 minute.
- 5
Stir in the 1/4 teaspoon sea salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper; taste and adjust seasoning as necessary to achieve a perfectly balanced flavor.
- 6
Add the drained and rinsed capers to the dressing, pulsing briefly to incorporate them without completely pulverizing their texture.
- 7
In a large chilled bowl, gently toss the prepared butter lettuce with just enough Green Goddess dressing to lightly coat each leaf, preserving the crispness.
- 8
Serve immediately on chilled plates, ensuring every bite delivers that rejuvenating, complex flavor profile.
