We eat a lot of salad in our house.
My tiny family of three can go through six hearts of romaine and three butter lettuces in a week.
I come by my salad obsession honestly.

No frills, no colorful vegetables, no fussperfect for a lazy summer day.
And the best part is that its absolutely delicious.
That said, this salad is great with other lettuces as well.

The best options are mild-flavored greens.
Escaroles springy flavor works equally well with fresh herbs.
Romaine can work too, though it produces a very different textural experience.

If you do opt for the butter lettuce, double-check to treat it gently.
The key is to choose flavors you likeand cut the herbs appropriately.
Instead, I turn to a tried-and-true methodmixing up 1 part acid with 2 parts olive oil.

This dressing only takes a minute to throw together, so I never really make it ahead of time.
If you store it, just verify the olive oil comes back to liquid form before you use it.

end the jar firmly, and shake the dressing until it is thoroughly combined, about 10 seconds.
Dress the salad with about 2/3 of the dressing, and gently toss the salad.
Taste a piece of lettuce and add more dressing if needed.

Serve salad immediately after dressing.
