Bibb Lettuce Salad with House Vinaigrette
A simple green salad to complement any meal.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 4 heads of Bibb lettuce
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 medium shallot finely chopped
- ¼ cup minced fresh chives
- ¼ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chervil optional
- ½ cup House Vinaigrette
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Carefully remove the core from each head of lettuce and separate the leaves, but keep each head of lettuce together (leaves will be reassembled); discard any tough outer leaves. Wash and spin-dry the leaves.
- Place the leaves from one head of lettuce in a large bowl. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper, one-fourth of the shallots, 1 tablespoon each of the chives, parsley, and chervil if using. Then toss gently with 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette and 1 teaspoon of the lemon juice. Arrange the outer leaves as a base on the plate and rebuild each head of lettuce, ending with the smallest, most tender leaves. Repeat with the remaining heads of lettuce. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
- The vinaigrette can be made one hour in advance.
- The salad is best if served immediately.
