"There's something about those heads of butter lettuce at the store or spring farmer's market: the bright green always looks so enticing! I'm one of those people who can't resist buying them, even if I don't have a plan yet. So here's a simple recipe I created to make it taste amazing: my butter lettuce salad!"
"It's ready in 15 minutes with no cooking required. The dressing is creamy but light: the Parmesan dressing uses Greek yogurt instead of sour cream It's versatile to pair with many meals: It works with a casual weeknight pasta to a spring dinner party spread, and you can top it with protein to make it a meal"
"Butter lettuce (Bibb or Boston lettuce): This type of lettuce has a soft, delicate texture and mild flavor. Look for heads with the roots still attached at farmers markets or grocery stores; they stay fresher longer. Bibb lettuce is slightly smaller; Boston lettuce is a bit larger and looser. Both types work well here! See my Quick Guide to Butter Lettuce for more."
Fresh butter lettuce gets coated in a creamy Parmesan Peppercorn dressing that uses Greek yogurt for a lighter texture, then is finished with Parmesan shavings and crunchy Italian panko breadcrumbs. The salad requires no cooking and can be assembled in about 15 minutes, making it ideal for weeknight dinners or entertaining. Shallots and either cherry tomatoes or radishes add gentle savory notes and color, while fresh chives contribute an oniony pop. The salad pairs well with chicken or pasta and can be topped with protein to become a main course.
