Butter Lettuce Salad

Butter Lettuce Salad- this simple salad is made with soft and tender butter lettuce leaves, cucumber, radish slices, creamy avocado, salty Parmesan, and a light lemon vinaigrette. Serve along side any meal!

If you haven’t made a salad with butter lettuce, you are in for a real treat. The lettuce is rich, smooth, silky-soft, and basically melts in your mouth. It is the perfect base for this simple salad recipe.

I top the lettuce with cucumber, radish slices, avocado, fresh chives, and salty Parmesan cheese. Dress the salad with a refreshing lemon vinaigrette. Sometimes I even add homemade croutons for a satisfying crunch. The salad is beautiful and the flavors are exquisite.
