Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large head butter or bibb lettuce
1 small jicama, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch matchsticks (roughly 1/2 cup)
1/3 cup pomegranate seeds
1 cup large shavings Asiago or Parmesan cheese
House Dressing
2 1/2 tablespoons crème fraîche
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon honey
1 scallion, white part only, finely chopped
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • To make the dressing, whisk together the crème fraîche, olive oil, and honey. Add the scallion, vinegar, salt, and pepper and whisk again. Taste and add salt and pepper to taste, or a touch more vinegar if you prefer your dressing on the acidic side.
  • Gently pull the lettuce leaves from the head, making sure they are dry. Gently toss the leaves and jicama with the dressing. Assemble in a stack on each of 4 plates, starting with the largest leaves on the bottom to create a base. Garnish each salad with a quarter of the pomegranate seeds and the cheese shavings. Serve immediately.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have some on hand in my fridge.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.

I'm not a fan of this salad. The dressing was too heavy and the greens were tough.

This salad was a disappointment. The dressing was bland and the greens were wilted.
