The best dressing you can drizzle over a butter lettuce salad is a basic lemon juice vinaigrette. This dressing highlights the delicate flavor of butter lettuce without overpowering it.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup high-quality extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon minced shallot
- 1 teaspoon grainy mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon mild-flavored honey
- 1/2 teaspoon high-grade salt
- pinch of black pepper
Directions:
Whisk, blend, or shake all ingredients together. Before pouring the dressing over the whole salad, take a leaf of butter lettuce and dip it into the dressing to see if it has the right balance of oil to lemon juice with a touch of sweetness. Once you have the right balance, toss the salad with a few tablespoons of the dressing and a small amount of freshly grated parmesan cheese.
