    List of Ingredients

    • 2 Tbs. Champagne vinegar
    • 1/4 tsp. salt
    • 1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper
    • 1 large head butter lettuce, leaves separated and torn into bite-size pieces
    • 1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
    • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
    • 1/2 cup fresh chervil sprigs


    Instructions


    1. In the bottom of a salad bowl, combine the olive oil and shallot. Add the vinegar, salt and pepper and mix well with a fork. Top with the lettuce, parsley, cilantro and chervil. When ready to serve, toss well. Mound the salad in individual bowls or on plates. Serves 4.



    Final Comments


    Variation: To enrich the dressing, add a little Maytag, Stilton, Gorgonzola or other blue-veined cheese along with the vinegar, coarsely mashing it with a fork. Serve the salad after a main course, accompanied with a sliver of the cheese and some walnuts.
