Method
 

Sweet Onion Dressing
  1. Combine all dressing ingredients in a blender and blend until fully smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Overdressed Greens Salad
  1. Note that this is really a salad that you measure with your heart! Feel free to adjust measurements of the salad components based on your preferences.
  2. Also note to assemble the salad right before serving to keep the greens crisp and ingredients fresh.
  3. Toast breadcrumbs for a few minutes on the stove with a drizzle of avocado oil. Toss until golden and crunchy.
  4. Add lettuce to a large bowl and pour on as much dressing as you'd like to use. Toss to completely and evenly cover each piece of lettuce.
  5. Sprinkle in the dill and chives and toss again to evenly distribute.
  6. Add in the tomato pieces as well as half of the cheese.
  7. Top the salad with the remaining cheese and finally, the breadcrumbs.
