- 3 avocados
- 1 head of cos lettuce
- 2 Tbsp garlic butter
Marie Rose Sauce
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 3 Tbsp tomato sauce
- 1 Tbsp lime juice

Instructions
- Prepare the Lettuce and Avocado: Wash and slice the cos lettuce, then arrange it neatly on a serving platter. Thinly slice the avocados and layer them evenly over the lettuce to create a fresh base for the salad.
