Butter Lettuce and Avocado salad with Citrus Vinaigrette by John SpottiswoodI'm a sucker for fresh butter lettuce with citrus and avocado.

Grilled Tuna Steaks over Arugula Salad by John SpottiswoodI adapted this recipe from one in Cook's Illustrated and served it during a trip to San Luis Obispo with friends. The vinaigrette was fantastic and the technique for marinating the fennel bulb slices in the vinaigrette to soften it is definitely a keeper.
