Avocado-Goat Cheese Tartines
with Bibb Lettuce Salad
Tartine is a French word that means slice of bread, but is better known as a sophisticated open-faced sandwich. Open-faced sandwiches like these are extremely common throughout Europe, like the Scandinavian smørrebrød, or buttered rye bread often topped with smoked salmon or hard-boiled egg. Tartines have become increasingly popular in the U.S., particularly because of the critically acclaimed bakery by the same name in San Francisco.

1 Lemon

1 Bunch Chives
-
1 Bunch Parsley

Instructions
1
Prepare your ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Take the goat cheese out of the refrigerator and allow it to soften for easy spreading. Slice the radishes. Chop the hazelnuts. Pit, peel, and slice the avocado. Squeeze some lemon juice over the avocado to prevent browning. Cut the chives into 1-inch lengths. Pick off the parsley leaves and roughly chop them. Peel the garlic. Separate the lettuce leaves and tear the larger leaves into pieces. Peel and mince the shallot, then place it in a small bowl with the red wine vinegar.
2
Toast the bread:
Place the bread on a baking sheet. Drizzle some olive oil over the bread and toast it in the oven (or in a toaster) for 3 to 5 minutes. After taking it out of the oven, rub the garlic clove on each of the bread slices.
3
Make the vinaigrette:
While the bread toasts, make the vinaigrette. Add the Dijon mustard to the bowl with the shallot and vinegar. Gradually whisk in enough olive oil to make a dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4
Make the tartines, dress the salad, & enjoy:
Spread ¼ of the goat cheese on each bread slice. Lay the avocado slices on top of each, then top with the chives. Sprinkle the sea salt and squeeze a little lemon juice over the top of each. In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, hazelnuts, parsley, and radishes. Just before serving, drizzle some of the vinaigrette over the salad and toss to coat. (You may have extra vinaigrette.) Serve the tartines with the salad. Enjoy!
