Simple Butter Lettuce Salad

a simple butter lettuce salad with apple cider vinaigrette, olives, breadcrumbs, chives, manchego cheese and ground pepper
  • Serves:  6
  • Prep Time:  5 min
  • Cook Time:  10 min

Ingredients

  • 2 heads butter lettuce, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup castelvetrano olives, pitted, cut in half
  • ½ cup panko
  • 2 tablespoons butter (or olive oil)
  • ¼ cup chives, minced
  • 2 ounces manchego cheese, grated
  • freshly ground pepper

Apple Cider Vinaigrette

  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar (unfiltered)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Method

  1. In small bowl whisk together ingredients for the dressing, set aside.
  2. In a small skillet set over medium heat, melt butter and add panko. Stir often until panko is golden brown in color.
  3. Arrange butter lettuce on a large platter, shave manchego over lettuce and add olives, pepper, panko and chives. Drizzle with dressing right before serving and enjoy!

** If you dress this salad too soon, the panko will get soggy. We recommend saving the panko until after it is dressed and sprinkle it on right before serving.
