1Salad: Build your salad on a large platter. Use Bibb lettuce as the bed, then layer the tomatoes and scatter the red onions around the platter.

2Dressing: Cut avocados in half lengthwise, cutting around the pit. Separate the halves and scoop out the pits with a spoon, then use the spoon to scoop the avocados from their skins. Place the avodados in a food processor bowl and combine the lemon juice, jalapeno, red onion, cilantro, salt and water. Grind until the avocado mixture is smooth, then stream the olive oil into dressing. Adjust seasonings and pour over salad then serve.
