Baby salad (also known as baby lettuce or lettuce hearts) can be stewed perfectly. With a perfect dressing and a few walnuts it doesn’t look like only delicious, it tastes also great and it’s very noble. The dish is great for an appetizer or a snack. Of course also for a main meal, just get a bigger portion or take some bread, you’ll love it!
Typically we serve braised baby lettuce with walnuts and fine lemon dressing on hot summer days, so it’s okay if the the braised lettuce cooled down already before eating. In winter you can heat the dressing just still before serving.
Enjoy the meal!
