Butter Lettuce Salad

This simple butter lettuce salad is one of my go-to’s when I need a big dose of greens and not much more.  I know a lot of people like to drink their greens for efficiency, but I’m just not a big fan of smoothies because I never feel like they’re a satisfying meal for me; so I typically go the salad route for my fill of hearty greens.  For this simple salad, all you need is: 

▫️Butter lettuce

▫️Baby Bok Choy

▫️Endive

▫️Avocado

▫️Microgreens 

For the dressing: 

▫️Grapeseed oil (or EVOO)

▫️Lemon juice

▫️Dill

Clean and chop the butter lettuce, endive, and bok choy.  You can really use any combination of greens you prefer, I just happen to LOVE butter lettuce, and I’ve found this to be a hearty and tasty combination.  Top with half an avocado sliced into fans, and a pile of microgreens.  

For the dressing, combine in a small container the juice from half a lemon (approximately 1 tablespoon), about 2 teaspoons of oil, and one teaspoon of dried dill weed.  Shake vigorously for 2-3 minutes.  Immediately pour over your salad and enjoy. This dressing is very light and flavorful, and it keeps your salad clean and healthy while still doing the job of a salad dressing by adding flavor.
