Butter Lettuce And Herb Salad Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together buttermilk, crème fraîche, and lemon juice; generously season with salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in oil. Gently toss lettuce leaves and hearts and sliced fennel with dressing, then add half each of fennel fronds, parsley, and marjoram and toss again.
• Arrange salad on a platter; sprinkle with lemon zest and remaining fennel fronds and herbs. Season to taste. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large bowl add the fennel, lettuce, tarragon and scallion. Set aside.
• Add lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper to a small bowl and whisk together.
• While whisking constantly, slowly add the oil. When well combined pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss to coat. Top with the Pecorino if desired and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Separate 1 large head Bibb lettuce. Combine in a large bowl with 2 tablespoons each of torn basil, dill, parsley and mint. Toss with the juice of 1/2 lemon and 2 tablespoons olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• For the vinaigrette: In a bowl, whisk together the walnut oil, olive oil, vinegar, honey, mustard, salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the salad: When ready to serve, place the lettuce and tarragon in a large bowl and toss together. Pour the vinaigrette around the edge of the bowl and toss the greens with the dressing. Garnish with the toasted hazelnuts and serve.

Steps:

• Up to a day before serving, wash the herbs and greens: Fill a large bowl or clean sink with plenty of cold water. Immerse the leaves, swish around to loosen any dirt, then gently lift out. Dry in a salad spinner or by spreading them on clean kitchen towels. (If working ahead, refrigerate the dry leaves in sealed plastic bags or containers. Add a paper towel to each bag to absorb excess water.)
• Melt butter in a frying pan until it sizzles. Add almonds. Sauté over low heat, until the almonds are golden and the butter is browned. Lift out almonds and drain on paper towels, reserving butter. (Butter can be kept for 1 day. Melt and cool again before assembling salad.)
• When ready to serve, place greens in a large bowl. Add salt, pepper, chile flakes, almonds, cooking butter, lemon juice and olive oil. Toss gently and season to taste, then serve immediately.
