- ¼ cup chopped fresh herbs, such as tarragon, sorrel, mint, parsley and/or cilantro
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1 cup sliced cucumber
- 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed
- ¼ cup diced low-fat swiss cheese
- 6 cherry tomatoes, halved if desired
Directions:
- To prepare dressing: Place avocado, buttermilk, herbs, vinegar and salt in a blender. Puree until smooth.
- To prepare salad: Toss lettuce and cucumber in a bowl with 1/4 cup of the dressing. Top with chickpeas, cheese and tomatoes. (Refrigerate the extra dressing for up to 3 days.)

Zippy Salsa Tonnato Cold Tuna Sauce
This is basically a rustic pantry pasta sauce turned flavor-bomb condiment, and it's pretty versatile: It works as a dip (think bagna cauda or pinzimonio); or tossed with pasta and a little of its cooking water; or to sauce a plate of seared wax beans and assertive greens (such as arugula). I think it would also be the cat's pajamas spread on an open croissant, topped with sliced tomatoes and cheese, and put under the broiler to make an upscale tuna melt.
