My Favorite Butter Lettuce Side Salad
Author -Yields: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 5 ounces butter lettuce leaves (150g, or about 8 handfuls)
- 1 batch simple Champagne vinaigrette
- Maldon salt (for finishing)
- Freshly ground pepper (for finishing)
- Optional: freshly snipped chives, oregano leaves, or finely chopped parsley, basil, or mint (for serving)
Instructions
- Place the greens in a roomy serving bowl. Add 1/3 cup / 80ml vinaigrette to start. Fold the salad gently, until all leaves are coated with dressing.
- Continue adding vinaigrette as needed, but be careful not to overwhelm the delicate lettuce leaves with dressing. They should be evenly, yet lightly coated.
- If you like, add fresh chopped chives or herbs.
- Taste the salad. Add a pinch of Maldon or other flaky sea salt and a little extra black pepper as needed, for finishing. Serve right away.
