Boston Lettuce Salad With Creamy Orange Shallot Dressing image

I love salads! I love Boston lettuce, too. Give this one a try. It's refreshing and different. If you can, make the dressing several hours ahead or the day before so the flavors can blend.

Overall, this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

The dressing was a bit too thick for my liking. I would recommend thinning it out with a little bit of water or orange juice.

This salad was a bit too tangy for my taste. I would recommend using less orange juice in the dressing.

I'm not a huge fan of walnuts, so I used pecans instead. They were a great addition to the salad.

I used a different type of citrus, grapefruit, in the dressing and it was still delicious. This salad is very versatile.

I've never been a huge fan of lettuce salads, but this one has changed my mind! The creamy orange-shallot dressing is truly something special. It's tangy, sweet, and creamy all at the same time. I'll definitely be making this salad again.

This salad was a delightful balance of flavors and textures. The creamy orange-shallot dressing perfectly complemented the crisp lettuce and crunchy walnuts. I especially appreciated the subtle sweetness from the oranges, which added a nice contrast
