Butter Lettuce Salad with Mint and Green Onions

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Serves: 2

A simple and quick salad inspired by a dinner Lee and I shared at St. John Bread and Wine in 2018. We loved how silky and a little sweet the butter lettuce tasted so we made it the star of this simple, yet delicious salad.

Ingredients

• 1 head of butter lettuce, washed and torn

• ½ cup fresh mint leaves, torn

• 3 green onions, sliced, white parts discarded

• 1 tablespoon champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

• coarse kosher salt, to taste

Preparation

1. Wash lettuce and pat dry or use a salad spinner. Tear lettuce leaves and toss into a large bowl.

2. Tear mint leaves and add to the bowl with lettuce.

3. Line up the green onions on a cutting board and thinly slice them at an angle using a circular motion with your knife. Add to bowl.

4. Add vinegar and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and toss to coat.

5. Sprinkle with coarse kosher salt and serve.
