Lovely Lettuce with Lemony Vinaigrette
Let’s Prepare
Wash and dry hands for at least 20 seconds.
Wash and dry produce.
Lay out tools and ingredients on a clean table.
Serves: 4 – 6
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
Instructions
Step 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.
Step 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.
Step 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.)
Step 4: Measure 2 tsp. Honey, ¼ tsp salt, and ⅛ tsp. Black pepper. Add to the bowl.
Step 5: Stir or whisk together all of the ingredients except the olive oil.
Step 6: In a slow stream, pour the 3 tbsp. olive oil into the bowl while whisking vigorously.
Step 7: Dip the leaves into the dressing and enjoy!
