BUTTER LEAF SALAD, SHALLOT VINAIGRETTE, AND MALDON

Steps:

• To make the vinaigrette, combine the sliced shallot and vinegar in a small cup. Set aside for at least 15 minutes or up to several hours. The longer the shallots soak in the vinegar, the more their natural sugars will dissolve in the liquid and the sweeter the vinaigrette will be.
• When you are ready to dress the salad, mix the mustard into the vinegar and add the oil a little at a time, whisking until the vinaigrette is smooth and lightly thickened. Season with the salt and pepper.
• As soon as the dressing is ready, put the lettuce leaves in a salad bowl. Add the dressing and toss to coat with wooden salad utensils or your hands. You are less likely to bruise the lettuce if you toss it with your hands.
• Serve on individual salad plates and season each salad with an additional pinch of salt, or allow each person to salt their own.
• Variations
• If you have a shallow dish or plate of Himalayan pink salt (see page 163), add diced green apple, walnuts, and Roquefort to this salad and serve it on the salt plate to bring out an unexpected nutty sweetness. Substitute 1/2-inch chunks of cucumber, tomato, and avocado for the lettuce, and presto, you are eating a luscious summer salad of another stripe. Substitute Bibb or red leaf lettuce if you like.

RED LEAF LETTUCE SALAD WITH GOLDEN BEETS AND GRAPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, anchovy paste, salt, and pepper for dressing in a bowl. Stream in olive oil, whisking until well combined; set aside.
• Trim off the beets' leafy tops and root ends. Rub each beet with a little olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Wrap each tightly in a piece of foil and place on a baking sheet.
• Bake beets in the preheated oven until you can easily pierce through the centers with a paring knife, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Remove beets from oven, and allow to cool still wrapped in foil until you can handle them, 10 to 15 minutes. Rub each beet with a paper towel to remove the skin. Set aside to cool, then cut to your preference, either into chunks or slices.
• Tear lettuce leaves into pieces and add to a large bowl along with grapes and red onion. Add beets and give the salad a light stir. Drizzle some of the dressing to your taste, and toss gently until all is well coated. Store any remaining dressing tightly covered in the refrigerator.

RED LETTUCE SALAD

Steps:

• Using a paring knife, remove peel, pith, and outer membranes from oranges. Carefully cut each segment away from membranes, collecting juice and segments in a bowl. Squeeze any remaining juice from membranes before discarding. Drain segments, and set aside, reserving juice for another use.
• In a large bowl, combine lettuces and radicchio; toss with vinaigrette. Transfer to a serving platter, top with reserved orange segments, and sprinkle with cheese. Serve immediately.
