Butter Lettuce and Pumpkin Seed Salad
Simplicity reigns in this salad of butter lettuce and pumpkin seeds. The roasted garlic and apple juice in the vinaigrette add a welcome twist. What to buy: If you want to intensify the pumpkin flavor, make the vinaigrette with pumpkin seed oil. Game plan: We roast garlic a few times a week and keep it around to add a subtle layer of flavor to dishes. Put a whole head of garlic in a 400°F oven and roast until the cloves are soft when pressed.
Ingredients
- 1⁄2 Cup hulled pumpkin seeds
- 3 medium roasted garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoon unfiltered apple cider or unfiltered unsweetened apple juice
- 6 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
