Red Lettuce with Honey-Maple Vinaigrette
- + New List
Cookbook
Recipe
I like to combine honey and maple syrup, not because I have an incredible sweet tooth, but because I like the different types of sweetness they provide. Add a little vinegar and thyme and you’ve got a sweet-tart dressing in less than 5 minutes.
Yield :
Serves 4
Prep Time :
10 minutes
Cooking Time :
10 minutes
Ingredients
For the Honey-Maple Vinaigrette:
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 4 to 6 cups chopped red lettuce leaves, or any lettuce variety
Directions
1. In a small bowl, whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients.
2. Arrange the lettuce on individual salad plates and spoon the dressing over the top just before serving.
Notes
Make it a meal kit: Wash and dry the lettuce. Whisk together the vinaigrette. Store each separately in sealable containers or plastic bags, the lettuce for up to 3 days in the refrigerator, the vinaigrette for up to 1 week. Finish as directed.
Morph it: Make a double batch of the vinaigrette and morph the extra into a marinade and dipping sauce for chicken, turkey, salmon, or pork tenderloin. Use half as a marinade and the other half as a dipping sauce after cooking the protein.
