CITRUS DRESSING
Buy the avocados in plenty of time for them to ripen at room temperature.
Prepare the Citrus Dressing ahead and have all the salad ingredients washed and dried.
Citrus Dressing: In bowl, stir together orange juice, vinegar, mustard, salt, garlic and hot pepper sauce; whisk in oil. (Dressing can be covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days.) In large salad bowl, arrange Bibb lettuce, endive and radicchio. Cut red pepper into thin strips and onion into thin rings; add to bowl. Peel and pit avocados; cut into bite-size cubes and sprinkle over salad. Drizzle with enough dressing to moisten; toss well.
Makes about 8 servings.
