Equipment

1 Salad spinner

Ingredients

1 head green lettuce such as oakleaf lettuce
½ lemon juiced
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon mild honey
¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Wash the lettuce leaves thoroughly and spin them dry in a salad spinner.
1 head green lettuce such as oakleaf lettuce
Cut the lettuce into 2 cm strips and place them in a large salad bowl.
Combine the olive oil, honey, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a small jar. Shake well to combine.
½ lemon, 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, ½ teaspoon mild honey, ¼ teaspoon salt
Pour the honey-lemon dressing over the lettuce and toss gently to coat the leaves.
Generously sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the salad and serve immediately.

Notes

The honey-lemon dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Shake well before using.

Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is key for the best flavor—avoid pre-grated varieties if possible.

This salad is best served fresh. The lettuce will wilt if left dressed for too long. If making ahead, keep the dressing separate until just before serving.
