Boston Lettuce with Chives and Butter Dressing Recipe

Boston Lettuce with Chives and Butter Dressing Recipe

  • 3 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh chives
  • 1 head Boston lettuce, larger leaves torn into pieces
  • 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, cut into slices
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  1. Sprinkle chives over lettuce in a large bowl.
  2. Heat butter and garlic in a small heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until garlic is golden and butter has a slightly nutty aroma (there will be golden-brown bits of milk solids on bottom of pan), about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Toss salad with dressing and serve immediately.
