About the Recipe: The tender Butter Lettuce head is filled with chilled mini cucumbers, balsamic cherry flavored cranberries, walnuts, red onions, and bits of soft lettuce leaves. They are dressed in a balsamic berry flavored dressing and topped with warm crisp goat cheese salad streusel. It looks so elegant, but it’s easy to prepare.
Prepare Butter Lettuce Salad: Do not tear the lettuce apart. Remove; discard the lettuce root; carefully wash any loose dirt from leaves, leaving the leaves intact. Place lettuce head into wide serving bowl, spread the outer leaves away from the head to the outer edge of serving bowl. Cut, remove the lettuce core, and tear into bitesize pieces; add to medium bowl with cranberries.
Add sliced cucumbers, red onions, and walnuts to the bowl. Toss lightly with about 1-1/2 to 2 Tablespoons prepared dressing. Spoon into the prepared lettuce head. Serve remaining dressing on the side.
Prepare Salad Streusel: In 10-inch Teflon skillet, toss crumbled goat cheese with fine crushed croutons; cook over medium heat about 1 minute 20 seconds until cheese becomes warm and binds with the crumbs. Toss desired amount of salad streusel over salad. Serve remaining salad streusel on the side.
Yield: Serves 4
