Description

Butter lettuce, grown hydroponically, is a great way to add green to your cold-weather menus. This quick and easy salad is so tasty that Mary-Frances Heck, Bon Appétit's Associate Food Editor, throws some leftover roast chicken on top and calls it a meal.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/3 cup vegetable oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 heads of butter lettuce leaves, gently torn
1 1/2 cups store-bought glazed walnuts
1 Honeycrisp or Fuji apple, quartered, cored, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup pomegranate seeds
1/4 cup tarragon leaves
1/2 cup crumbled Stilton or Maytag blue cheese (about 2 ounces)

Directions

  1. Whisk first 4 ingredients in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in oil. Season vinaigrette to taste with salt and pepper.
  2. Place lettuce in a large bowl. Add vinaigrette, walnuts, and apple; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with pomegranate seeds, tarragon, and cheese.
