BUTTER LETTUCE AND BLUE CHEESE SALAD WITH SHALLOT VINAIGRETTE RECIPE

Steps:

• Make The Shallot Vinaigrette: Start making the shallot vinaigrette by combining the shallots and red wine vinegar in a nonreactive (glass or stainless steel) bowl. Set it aside for about 5 to 10 minutes until the shallots start to turn a little brighter pink (this helps mellow any harshness and bring out their best flavor)! Once the shallots are ready, whisk in the mustard and add a generous pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. While constantly whisking, slowly pour the oil into the bowl in a thin stream until well incorporated. Taste the dressing by dipping a leaf of butter lettuce in it, adding some sugar and more salt or pepper as desired.
• Assemble The Salad: Arrange the butter lettuce leaves on a platter, then scatter the remaining ingredients -- the halved tomatoes, crumbled blue cheese, chives, and breadcrumbs on top. Garnish with a pinch of good sea salt, drizzle with a few generous spoonfuls of the shallot vinaigrette and serve immediately, passing the additional vinaigrette on the side.

BUTTER LEAF SALAD, SHALLOT VINAIGRETTE AND MALDON SALT

Steps:

• To make the vinaigrette, combine the sliced shallot and vinegar in a small cup. Set aside for at least 15 minutes or up to several hours. The longer the shallots soak in the vinegar, the more their natural sugars will dissolve in the liquid and the sweeter the vinaigrette will be. When you are ready to dress the salad, mix the mustard into the vinegar and add the oil a little at a time, whisking until the vinaigrette is smooth and lightly thickened. Season with the salt and pepper. As soon as the dressing is ready, put the lettuce leaves in a salad bowl. Add the dressing and toss to coat with wooden salad utensils or your hands. You are less likely to bruise the lettuce if you toss it with your hands. Serve on individual salad plates and season each salad with an additional pinch of salt or allow each person to salt their own.
