  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large egg , hard-boiled and peeled
  • 3 cups loosely packed red leaf lettuce , washed and spun dry

  • 1 ripe Hass avocado , pitted, peeled, and roughly chopped
  • 3 slices bacon , cut into 1/2-inch pieces, cooked until crisp, and drained

Directions
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper. Add the olive oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly. Chop or coarsely grate the egg and add it to the dressing. Refrigerate, covered, until needed.
