Chef's Note
A recipe from Stéphane Thoreton.
Good to know :
Lamb's lettuce prefers neutral, mild and not overly assertive oils such as corn, sunflower, soy, canola or grapeseed oil.
For a successful dressing, combine these oils with flavorful and acidic vinegars such as cider, white wine or balsamic vinegar - or even more full-bodied aggressive vinegars such as red wine vinegar flavored with raspberry or shallot, or sherry vinegar.
