2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
¼ teaspoon Salt
⅛ teaspoon Freshly-ground black pepper
½ teaspoon Finely-chopped parsley
½ small Garlic clove; finely chopped
¼ cup Extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon Finely-chopped onion

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, salt, pepper, parsley, and garlic. Drizzle in the olive oil in a thin stream, whisking constantly, until it is completely emulsified. Stir in the onion and Tabasco. In a large saucepan, bring a generous amount of water to the boil. Plunge in the okra and cook for 3 minutes. Drain and pat dry with paper towels. In a large heavy skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Toss in the okra and sear it, tossing frequently, for about 1½ minutes, or until golden. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool. Arrange the lettuce leaves in a large serving bowl and scatter the okra on top. Pour the dressing over, toss together and scatter the red pepper julienne on top. This recipe yields 6 servings.
