BIBB LETTUCE SALAD

Categories     Salad     Leafy Green     Herb     Appetizer     Tarragon     Chive     Shallot     Parsley     Sugar Conscious     Vegan     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Paleo     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 heads Bibb lettuce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons minced shallots
2 tablespoons minced chives
1/4 cup Italian parsley leaves
1/4 cup tarragon leaves
1/4 cup chervil leaves
1/2 cup House Vinaigrette
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Carefully cut out the core from each head of lettuce and separate the leaves, but keep each head of lettuce together; discard any tough outer leaves. Because each head of lettuce will be reassembled, the easiest way to work is with one head at a time. First, place the leaves in a bowl of cold water to refresh them and remove any dirt, then lift out and spin-dry in a salad spinner.
  • Place the leaves from a single head of lettuce in a bowl. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, a few grinds of pepper, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the shallots and chives, and 1 tablespoon each of the parsley, tarragon, and chervil. Then toss gently with 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Repeat with the remaining heads.
  • For each serving, arrange the outer lettuce leaves as a base on the plate and rebuild each head of lettuce, ending with the smallest, most tender leaves.

Tips:

  • Choose the right lettuce: A sturdy lettuce, such as romaine or iceberg, will hold up best to the dressing.
  • Wash the lettuce thoroughly: This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Dry the lettuce well: This will help to prevent the dressing from becoming watery.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing: You don't want to overwhelm the lettuce.
  • Add other vegetables or toppings: Such as tomatoes, cucumbers, croutons, or bacon, to make a more complete salad.

Conclusion:

Lettuce with French dressing is a classic salad that is both simple and delicious. It is a great way to use up leftover lettuce, and it can be easily customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can make a salad that is both healthy and satisfying.
