Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 heads Bibb lettuce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons minced shallots
2 tablespoons minced chives
1/4 cup Italian parsley leaves
1/4 cup tarragon leaves
1/4 cup chervil leaves
1/2 cup House Vinaigrette
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Place the leaves from a single head of lettuce in a bowl. 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.
  • 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.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, choose ripe and flavorful persimmons. Look for fruit that is bright orange or yellow in color, and slightly soft to the touch.
  • If you can't find candied pecans, you can easily make your own. Simply toss pecan halves with a little bit of sugar and cinnamon, and then roast them in the oven until they are golden brown and caramelized.
  • This salad is also delicious with other types of greens, such as arugula, spinach, or kale. You can also add other fruits, such as apples, pears, or grapes.
  • For a more substantial salad, you can add some grilled chicken or tofu. You can also serve the salad with a side of bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

This bibb lettuce salad with persimmons and candied pecans is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The persimmons add a sweet and juicy flavor to the salad, while the candied pecans add a crunchy and nutty flavor. The dressing is a simple vinaigrette that is made with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard. This salad is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
