Green Leafy Lettuce Salad with Avocado and Parmesan

I'd never before tried green leafy lettuce so figured it was about time that I did. After buying it I thought about what might go well with this gorgeous head of red and green lettuce, and the following recipe is what I came up with.

Salad Before Dressing Added

• garlic powder
• 2 Tbs. of roasted red peppers
• 4 thinly sliced red onion slices
• Baby Parmesan cheese thinly sliced (as little or as much as you like)
• 1/8 cup of sunflower seeds
• Salad dressing (I used Renee's Sweet Onion Vinaigrette) 

 Instructions 

Tear up your lettuce

Prepare the avocado

Toss and coat with lemon juice and garlic powder

Add avocado to the lettuce and gently toss

Add the roasted red peppers and gently toss

Add the sliced red onions

I use a vegetable peeler for my parmesan

Just before you're ready to eat add your salad dressing and sunflower seeds.
