LITTLE GEM SALAD WITH GARLICKY ALMOND DRESSING
This tart, garlicky dressing is made with toasted almonds and sherry vinegar for a simple but delicious green salad. Little Gem lettuce, a cross between romaine and butter lettuce, has become justly popular for a crunchy salad. Crisp and bright green with small crinkly leaves, it won't immediately wilt when dressed. If unavailable, look for similar small sturdy heads of lettuce or choose hearts of romaine.

Steps:
- Remove wilted exterior leaves from each head of lettuce. Cut stems from the lettuce heads, separate leaves and swish in a large basin of cold water, letting any sand or dirt sink to the bottom. Lift the leaves from the water and transfer to a colander. Shake away excess water. Wrap in kitchen towels to dry or use a salad spinner.
- Make the dressing: Put almonds, vinegar and garlic in a small bowl. Whisk in the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Put leaves in a wide salad bowl. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Dress lightly just before serving, using 2 or 3 tablespoons of dressing and coating leaves well. Taste and add more dressing as necessary. Store any remaining dressing in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, crisp green leaf lettuce. Avoid wilted or bruised leaves.
- Pomegranate seeds add a pop of sweetness and crunch to the salad. If you don't have any on hand, you can substitute dried cranberries or raisins.
- Almonds add a nutty flavor and texture to the salad. You can also use walnuts or pecans if you prefer.
- Feta cheese adds a salty, tangy flavor to the salad. If you don't like feta, you can substitute another type of cheese, such as cheddar or mozzarella.
- Drizzle the salad with a simple vinaigrette dressing made with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. You can also add a touch of honey or Dijon mustard to the dressing for extra flavor.
Conclusion:
This green leaf lettuce, pomegranate, and almond salad is a delicious and healthy side dish or main course. It's packed with fresh, flavorful ingredients and is sure to please everyone at your table.
