Name: Butter Lettuce with Blue Cheese, Apples and Candied Pecans
Prep time: 10 min
Total time: 10 min
Yield: 2
Ingredients: 2 tbsp olive oil; 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar; 1/2 tsp dijon mustard; 1/2 tsp honey; 1 small clove of garlic, minced; Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste; 1/2 head butter lettuce, leaves separated & core removed; 1/4 apple, thinly sliced (such as Envy); 2 tbsp blue cheese crumbles, or more to taste; 2 tbsp candied pecan pieces

1.

Make the balsamic vinaigrette by whisking the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper to taste in a small glass jar until well combined. Set aside to let flavors mingle. Side Note: We like a very tangy vinaigrette; if you don't, add 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil to taste.

2.

Make the salad by placing 4-5 leaves of butter lettuce on each plate, then top them with thinly sliced apple, blue cheese crumbles, and candied pecans.

3.

Drizzle with some well-whisked balsamic vinaigrette, then season with lots of freshly cracked black pepper to taste.

4.

Serve immediately with more vinaigrette on the side. Enjoy.
