Ingredients

1 head butter lettuce (washed and chopped into medium sized pieces)
1 head romaine lettuce (washed and chopped into bite-sized pieces)
3 tablespoons dill (fresh chopped )
3 tablespoons Italian parsley (fresh chopped )
2 tablespoons chives (fresh chopped )
1 handful pea shoots
½ cup parmesan cheese (shaved )
pinch salt
pinch black pepper
2 tablespoons lemon juice (about 1 lemon )
¼ cup olive oil
salt and pepper

Steps:

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper. Whisk until well combined.
For a sweeter dressing, try adding in a touch of honey.
Add the washed, dried, and chopped butter lettuce and romaine lettuce into a large mixing bowl.
Next, you'll roughly chop your parsley and dill. Add it to the bowl with the lettuce.
Finely chop your chives into small pieces. Add them to the bowl as well. Toss everything together.
Next, sprinkle a handful of pea shoots over the top of the salad.
Finish with freshly shaved parmesan and a light drizzle of homemade lemon dressing.
Serve immediately after adding the dressing.
