Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 pound Bibb lettuce (about 4 heads) or Boston lettuce (about 1 head)
1 garlic clove
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Separate lettuce leaves and put in a large bowl. Halve garlic and in a small heavy skillet heat with butter over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until garlic is golden and butter has a slight nutty aroma, about 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and discard garlic. Add lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste, swirling skillet to incorporate (butter will foam).
  • Pour warm dressing over lettuce and toss to coat. Serve salad immediately.
