Avocado and Bacon Bibb Salad with Chipotle Ranch Dressing

Bibb or butter lettuce is another soft green with a sweet clover-like flavor profile. Its light texture is good for layering, and a small amount can appear larger than it is - great for presentation. This recipe is from our Early Summer 2023 issue.
