Easy Lettuce Salad with is made with round lettuce and a selection of fresh soft herbs, dressed in a honey mustard dressing which adds a touch of sweetness.
Break the lettuce into individual leaves, then wash the lettuce and dry. Place the dry leaves into a large bowl.
Chop the fresh herbs and add to the bowl along with the lettuce leaves. Toss the herbs through the leaves to distribute evenly.
Make the salad dressing my placing all the ingredients into a jam jar and seal with a lid. Give the jar a good shake to so that the ingredients meld together, forming the salad dressing. Set aside until ready to dress the salad.
Drizzle a little of the honey mustard dressing over the salad and give everything a good toss to coat the leaves. Gradually add a little more salad dressing, tossing each time, until you have dressed the salad to your taste.
Check the salad for seasoning and add a little salt and/or black pepper if required. Serve the side salad immediately with your choice of main.
Notes
When it comes to adding salad dressing, I add a little at a time, tossing the dressing through the salad each time, until I have added the right amount of dressing to suit my salad.Don't be too heavy handed with salad dressing, you want to dress the salad, not have the lettuce swimming in dressing.Save any leftover salad dressing in the jar, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.Using this recipe as a base, you can add any other ingredients to the salad, eg thinly sliced radishes, spring onions, cucumber, tomatoes, some finely shredded Parmesan cheese.
