Butter Lettuce Salad with Zesty Green Goddess Dressing image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup fresh parsley leaves
3/4 cup fat-free Greek yogurt
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 2 to 3 lemons)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons fresh tarragon leaves
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 clove garlic, smashed and peeled
1 scallion, root and dark green part removed, roughly chopped
1 large head butter lettuce, cleaned and torn into bite-size pieces

Steps:

  • Add the parsley, yogurt, chives, lemon juice, mayonnaise, tarragon, salt, pepper, garlic and scallion to a blender. Turn the blender on low and gradually increase the speed. Blend until bright green and smooth, about 20 seconds.
  • To assemble, add the torn butter lettuce to a large serving bowl. Drizzle with half the dressing. Serve with extra dressing on the side.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, crisp Boston lettuce. Look for heads that are tightly packed and have no signs of wilting or bruising.
  • To make the green goddess dressing, use a food processor or blender to combine all of the ingredients until smooth. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can chop the herbs and nuts by hand and whisk them together with the other ingredients.
  • Serve the salad immediately after dressing it. This will prevent the lettuce from wilting.
  • Garnish the salad with additional herbs, nuts, or crumbled cheese, if desired.

Conclusion:

This Boston lettuce salad with green goddess dressing is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its鮮脆的萵苣, creamy dressing, and bright herbs, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
