5 Ingredient Butter Lettuce Salad With A Pesto Vinaigrette

Total Time: 10 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• 2 heads butter lettuce (can also go by bibb or boston, i like to get the organic or fresh packed vs the pre-bagged lettuce i)
• pecorino romano cheese, grated (as a garnish)
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 tablespoons store bought pesto sauce
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• fresh ground pepper

Recipe

• 1 dressing -- mix the olive oil, pesto and fresh lemon juice with the pepper and whisk well to combine.
• 2 serve -- i like to add the lettuce to a bowl of ice water just for a couple of minutes to get it "icy cold." then dry well and plate. you don't have to do the ice bath, but i just love this salad when it is well chilled. drizzle the vinaigrette over the top and garnish with the grated cheese.
• 3 enjoy!
