Ingredients

  • heads boston lettuce 
  • 0.3 cup chervil 
  • tablespoons chives minced
  • servings pepper black freshly ground
  • tablespoon juice of lemon fresh
  • 0.3 cup flat parsley italian
  • tablespoons shallots minced
  • 0.3 cup tarragon 
  • 0.5 cup balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • salad spinner

Directions

  1. Carefully cut out the core from each head of lettuce and separate the leaves, but keep each head of lettuce together; discard any tough outer leaves. Because each head of lettuce will be reassembled, the easiest way to work is with one head at a time. First, place the leaves in a bowl of cold water to refresh them and remove any dirt, then lift out and spin-dry in a salad spinner.
  2. Place the leaves from a single head of lettuce in a bowl.
  3. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, a few grinds of pepper, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the shallots and chives, and 1 tablespoon each of the parsley, tarragon, and chervil. Then toss gently with 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Repeat with the remaining heads.
  4. For each serving, arrange the outer lettuce leaves as a base on the plate and rebuild each head of lettuce, ending with the smallest, most tender leaves.
