Instructions: 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.
