Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 garlic cloves, smashed
1/2 cup heavy cream
Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, plus more
1/4 cup blanched hazelnuts
4 small carrots, scrubbed
6 heads Little Gem lettuce
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
1/2 cup mint leaves
1 1/2 ounces SarVecchio or Parmesan, shaved
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Boost the Cream:
  • Combine garlic and cream in a small bowl. Season with salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cover and chill 1 hour.
  • Go Nuts:
  • Toast the hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet in a 350° oven, tossing occasionally, until golden, 8-10 minutes. Let cool; coarsely chop.
  • Veg Out:
  • Thinly slice the carrots lengthwise on a mandoline and separate leaves from lettuce.
  • Get Dressed:
  • Strain the infused cream into a medium bowl and add the oil. Whip to very soft peaks, then whisk in 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Bring It Home:
  • Toss the carrots, lettuce, mint leaves, and half of hazelnuts with remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add a few dollops of lemon cream and gently toss to coat. Spoon remaining lemon cream onto a platter and mound salad over. Top with cheese, remaining hazelnuts, and some cracked pepper and flaky sea salt.

LITTLE GEM SALAD WITH GARLICKY ALMOND DRESSING



Little Gem Salad With Garlicky Almond Dressing image

This tart, garlicky dressing is made with toasted almonds and sherry vinegar for a simple but delicious green salad. Little Gem lettuce, a cross between romaine and butter lettuce, has become justly popular for a crunchy salad. Crisp and bright green with small crinkly leaves, it won't immediately wilt when dressed. If unavailable, look for similar small sturdy heads of lettuce or choose hearts of romaine.

Categories     salads and dressings, vegetables, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 to 6 heads of Little Gem lettuce (more, if very small)
1/4 cup crushed toasted almonds (See Tip)
3 tablespoons sherry vinegar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Remove wilted exterior leaves from each head of lettuce. Cut stems from the lettuce heads, separate leaves and swish in a large basin of cold water, letting any sand or dirt sink to the bottom. Lift the leaves from the water and transfer to a colander. Shake away excess water. Wrap in kitchen towels to dry or use a salad spinner.
  • Make the dressing: Put almonds, vinegar and garlic in a small bowl. Whisk in the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Put leaves in a wide salad bowl. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Dress lightly just before serving, using 2 or 3 tablespoons of dressing and coating leaves well. Taste and add more dressing as necessary. Store any remaining dressing in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
