Spring salads! The easiest way to breathe new life into a menu is to update the salads. So it’s out with the pear and pomegranate starter that was so popular during the Winter and in with the berries and baby lettuces. This a very pretty salad for Easter or for Mother’s Day too. Be sure to use sweet ripe strawberries. If the berries are as sour as the Greek yogurt dressing then there’s no contrast.
Strawberry & Bibb Lettuce Salad for Spring!
Bibb lettuce is also called Butter lettuce, Butterhead and Boston lettuce and can often be found grown hydroponically at the market. I take off the outer dark green leaves and just use the light green to yellow. If you’re using baby Butterhead then figure one per person, the larger heads can easily be enough for 2-3 people or more depending on appetite.
