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.

BIBB SALAD WITH BASIL GREEN GODDESS DRESSING



Bibb Salad With Basil Green Goddess Dressing image

Green goddess dressing was invented in the 1920's at San Francisco's Palace Hotel as a tribute to William Archer's hit play, The Green Goddess. It gets it's bright green color from lots of fresh green herbs. This dressing was originally made with tarragon, but has been updated with basil, which actually has more flavor! Delicious on green salad, but also great served with vegetables like asparagus and broccoli. Adapted from the Barefoot Contessa at Home cookbook.

Time 15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup good quality mayonnaise (Hellman's is good)
1 cup chopped scallion, white and green parts (6-7 scallions)
1 cup chopped fresh basil leaf
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 cloves)
2 teaspoons anchovy paste (optional-I don't use)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 cup light sour cream
3 heads bibb lettuce
2 -3 tomatoes

Steps:

  • Plaace the mayonnaise, scallions, basil, lemon juice, garlic, anchovy paste(if using), salt and pepper in a blender and blend until smooth. Add sour cream and process just until blended. If you are not using immediately, chill the dressing until ready to serve.
  • Cut each head of lettuce into quarters, remove some of the cores and arrange on 6 salad plates. Cut the tomatoes into wedges and add to plates. Pour on the dressing and serve. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use the freshest ingredients possible. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the salad.
  • Make sure to wash the bibb lettuce thoroughly before using it.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Use a good quality Parmesan cheese. This will also make a big difference in the flavor of the salad.
  • Don't overcrowd the salad when you're assembling it. This will make it difficult to toss and the dressing won't be evenly distributed.
  • Serve the salad immediately after assembling it. This will prevent the lettuce from wilting.

Conclusion:

Bibb salad with Parmesan butter crostini is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its crisp lettuce, creamy dressing, and flavorful crostini, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
