Ingredients:

Serving

1 bag butter leaf lettuce (or other soft lettuce - i wash mine even when it's bagged, better safe than sorry i say)
1/2 of an english cucumber, peeled with the flesh diced into a 1/4 inch dice , seeds tossed into the compost
1 avocado , cut into quarters, peeled then each quarter cut into 3 lovely slices
1/4 to 1/3 lb small cook shrimp (i think they actually call these cocktail or salad shrimp ' found at your fish stand)
for the dressing
2 tbsp white balsamic or champagne vinegar (so very mild
1 tsp dijon musard
1 tbsp minced fresh tarragon
1 tbsp minced fresh basil
1/2 tsp minced fresh thyme
salt and pepper, to your taste
1/4 to 1/3 cup good quality extra virgin olive oil (when you are adding the olive oil, taste after 1/4 cup, if it seems to acidic then add some more until you like the balance of vinegar to oil)

Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the vinegar with the mustard. Whisk well, then add the herbs along some salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the oil, checking about 1/4 cup in for acidity, and whisk until well emulsified. Once the dressing is made, pour most of it into another bowl, leaving just a coating in the large bowl.
To the large bowl, add the lettuce, cucumber and green onions. Toss well, adding a bit more dressing, if necessary (you want the lettuce JUST coated with dressing).
Place the salad onto plates, then top with the 3 avocado slices (nicely fanned if you please); then spoon the shrimps over the top. Spoon or drizzle with the remaining dressing and serve.
