Orange Butter Lettuce Salad

I remember the first time that I had this salad.  Thom and I had dinner with Tom and Jane Kincade, Thom met them at Napa Valley Country Club when he worked there as an Assistant Golf Pro.  A few years later Thom and I became members at Napa Valley CC and often played golf with Tom and Jane.  I had this salad again at a church activity with the ladies from Napa 1st ward. The homemade orange dressing makes it light and refreshing.

Ingredients:

1 head butter lettuce

1 can mandarin oranges

1 purple onion sliced thin

1 avocado cubed

1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel

1/4 cup orange juice (fresh or bottled)

1/2 cut vegetable oil

1 Tablespoons sugar

1 Tablespoon lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon salt

Combine the dressing ingredients and whisk until combined.
