Ingredients
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lime zest
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
salt & pepper
5 tablespoons canola oil
2 large heads butter lettuce
¼ cup fresh tarragon leaves
Diced tomato (optional)

Preparation
Whisk the lemon zest and juice, lime zest and juice, honey and mustard in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Whisk in the canola oil until completely emulsified.
Trim off the cores of the lettuce, discarding the tough outer leaves. Wash lettuce in a bowl of cold water. Spin or pat dry.
Place whole lettuce leaves in a large bowl along with the tarragon leaves and drizzle enough vinaigrette to coat thoroughly. Season with additional salt and pepper. Stack lettuce leaves in 4 wide salad bowls, starting each stack with the large outer leaves on the bottom and ending with the smaller leaves on top. Scatter diced tomatoes and or sliced avocado over the lettuce leaves. Drizzle with additional dressing if desired before serving.
