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. Ingredients:
1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise |
1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard |
1/4 cup orange juice |
2 teaspoons finely chopped shallots |
fresh ground pepper |
1 large head boston lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces (5 cups) |
1 cup grated carrot (1 carrot) |
1 cup grape tomatoes, rinsed and cut in half |
2 tablespoons snipped fresh tarragon (optional) or 2 tablespoons chives (optional) |
Directions:
1. To prepare dressing: Whisk mayonnaise and mustard in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in orange juice until smooth. Stir in shallot. Season with pepper.
2. To prepare salad: Divide lettuce among 4 plates and scatter carrot and tomatoes on top. Drizzle the dressing over the salads and sprinkle with tarragon (or chives), if desired. Serve immediately.
