5 INGREDIENT BUTTER LETTUCE SALAD WITH A PESTO VINAIGRETTE



5 Ingredient Butter Lettuce Salad With a Pesto Vinaigrette image

Sometimes we all need short cuts. This is such a simple 2 minute salad, but a nice change from the "romaine or iceberg lettuce salad with Italian or Bleu Cheese dressings." It compliments anything and it equally as good for company as everyday.

Provided by SarasotaCook

Categories     < 15 Mins

Time 10m

Yield 4-6 Salads, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 heads butter lettuce (can also go by Bibb or Boston, I like to get the organic or fresh packed vs the pre-bagged lettuce i)
pecorino romano cheese, grated (as a garnish)
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons store bought pesto sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Dressing -- Mix the olive oil, pesto and fresh lemon juice with the pepper and whisk well to combine.
  • Serve -- I like to add the lettuce to a bowl of ice water just for a couple of minutes to get it "icy cold." Then dry well and plate. You don't have to do the ice bath, but I just love this salad when it is well chilled. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the top and garnish with the grated cheese.
  • ENJOY!
