Bottom of the Bowl Salad

. . . (stolen from Renee's private recipe collection)

Mix together on the bottom of a large salad bowl:

6 Tablespoons olive oil
2 Tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 clove garlic - pressed

Put these ingredients on top of the above dressing and don't mix!

4 heads of bib lettuce - torn
1 Tablespoon dry parsley
1 Tablespoon chives
1 teaspoon dill
1/2 teaspoon thyme

Cover and refrigerate. (not more than a couple hours or so)

Add avocado and toss before serving.

(I used 6 heads of bib lettuce the other night and 1 1/2'd the recipe. It made an enormous amount! I probably would have been fine with the above amounts for the 14 of us)

Renee - did I forget anything?
