Butter Lettuce with Mustard Vinaigrette
To create our simple butter lettuce salad, simply toss together tender butter lettuce, chopped fresh herbs and a dijon mustard vinaigrette. Ready in minutes, this light and flavorful salad is an easy lunch recipe or side dish. Try pairing it with grilled prime rib or herb butter chicken.
Ingredients:
- 2 heads butter lettuce
- 3 1/2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 Tbs. red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 1 Tbs. chopped fresh chives
- 1 Tbs. chopped fresh tarragon
- 1 Tbs. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Directions:
Step 1. Prepare the Lettuce
Separate the lettuce leaves. Tear the largest outer leaves in half, leaving the smaller leaves whole. Wash and rinse the lettuce. Then, gently dry with a salad spinner or a clean kitchen towel.
Tip: To avoid crushing the leaves, tear large ones individually instead of cutting the heads.
Step 2. Make the Dressing
In a large salad bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper to make a vinaigrette.
Step 3. Toss and Serve
Combine the dressing, lettuce, chives, tarragon and parsley and toss well. Serve immediately. Serves 4 to 6.
