  • 1 ripe California avocado
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup packed fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 4 heads Bibb lettuce
  • 6 ounces mushrooms
  • 1 cup radishes
  • 1/4 cup packed fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves
  1. Pit and peel avocado and mash enough to measure 1/4 cup. In a blender purée mashed avocado with remaining dressing ingredients until smooth.
  2. Discard any discolored lettuce leaves. Separately cut mushrooms and radishes into thin slices. In a small bowl combine mushrooms and 2 tablespoons dressing and toss to coat.
