Lovely Lettuce with Lemony Vinaigrette

Serves: 4-6

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Tools you will need

• Cutting board
• Nylon knife
• Small bowl
• Whisk or fork
• Measuring spoons

Ingredients

• 1 head of Lettuce
• 2 tsp. honey
• 3 tbsp. olive oil
• 2 tbsp. lemon juice (1/2 lemon)
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/8 tsp. ground black pepper

Steps

1. Separate the lettuce leaves and rinse in cold water. Pat dry with paper towels. Tear the lettuce into bite sized pieces and set aside.
2. Roll lemon to soften it. Shape your non-dominant hand like a bridge over the lemon. With your dominant hand, carefully place the nylon knife under the bridge, and use a “low and slow” saw motion to halve the lemon.
3. Squeeze juice from half of the lemon into a small bowl. (Note: holding the lemon cut-side-up while squeezing can help prevent seeds from falling into the bowl.)
4. Measure 2 tsp. Honey, ¼ tsp salt, and ⅛ tsp. Black pepper. Add to the bowl.
5. Stir or whisk together all of the ingredients except the olive oil.
6. In a slow stream, pour the 3 tbsp. olive oil into the bowl while whisking vigorously.
7. Dip the leaves into the dressing and enjoy!
