I love the living greens lettuce ( I think that is what it is called…lettuce that has the root attached) … it is available at Costco & most of the grocery stores that I go to. but you can use butter lettuce for this salad…any soft sweet kind of lettuce
Simple & light in flavour, this salad is great on a warm summer night…
The lettuce has tender leaves & the blackberries are fresh & sweet ( well…some are sweet, some are not!!) ….I added thin slices of mini sweet cucumbers…. & I used a simple light vinaigrette just to enhance the delicate lettuce flavour.
Here is the recipe
1 Head of tender lettuce…. living greens or butter lettuce… I would not use a bitter lettuce mix for this salad
2 mini cucumbers
1 cups blackberries… or you can use any fruit you like
2 mini cucumbers
Dressing
1/4 cup oil….I used grape seed oil but use whatever oil you like
3 tbsp seasoned rice vinegar
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
pepper
Method
- Wash & dry the lettuce… you can leave the leaves whole or break them into bite-size pieces.
- Put the lettuce into a bowl
- Cut the cucumbers into thin slices… I cut them on an angle. Put the cucumbers on the lettuce
- Wash & dry the blackberries & put them on the lettuce & cucumbers
- Make the dressing…mix the oil, seasoned rice vinegar, sugar, salt & pepper together in a small jar & give it a good shake! Check the seasonings & adjust o your taste…
- Pour the dressing over the salad… I did not use all of it, but use as much as you like
- Toss & enjoy!
