LENTIL AND BUTTER LETTUCE SALAD
French green lentils, or lentilles du Puy, are smaller and more delicate in flavor than the usual supermarket variety. They require only fifteen minutes of cooking too, which makes them a handy pantry staple. A drizzle of crème fraîche and heavy cream sends this dish over the top.

Steps:
- Bring 3 cups salted water to a boil in a small pot. Add the lentils and cook until just tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and allow to cool.
- Combine the cool lentils with the cumin in a large mixing bowl. Add the lettuce, cilantro, scallions, and vinaigrette. Gently toss to combine so as not to bruise the lettuce.
- Combine the crème fraîche and cream in a small bowl.
- Divide the salad evenly among serving bowls and drizzle with the crème fraîche mixture. Sprinkle with additional cilantro, if desired.
