Butter Lettuce Salad
Butter Lettuce Salad features tender, delicate butter lettuce leaves combined with thinly sliced radishes and cucumbers for crispness. Rich avocado slices and freshly grated Parmesan add creaminess and sharpness. A vinaigrette of olive oil, lemon juice, golden balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and Dijon mustard is drizzled over to brighten and tie the flavors, creating a light, fresh salad with a balance of textures.
