Best Bibb Lettuce Parsley And Mint Salad Recipes

HERB SALAD

Steps:

• Separate 1 large head Bibb lettuce. Combine in a large bowl with 2 tablespoons each of torn basil, dill, parsley and mint. Toss with the juice of 1/2 lemon and 2 tablespoons olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.

BIBB LETTUCE SALAD

Steps:

• Carefully cut out the core from each head of lettuce and separate the leaves, but keep each head of lettuce together; discard any tough outer leaves. Because each head of lettuce will be reassembled, the easiest way to work is with one head at a time. First, place the leaves in a bowl of cold water to refresh them and remove any dirt, then lift out and spin-dry in a salad spinner.
• Place the leaves from a single head of lettuce in a bowl. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, a few grinds of pepper, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the shallots and chives, and 1 tablespoon each of the parsley, tarragon, and chervil. Then toss gently with 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Repeat with the remaining heads.
• For each serving, arrange the outer lettuce leaves as a base on the plate and rebuild each head of lettuce, ending with the smallest, most tender leaves.

CILANTRO-AND-MINT SALAD

Steps:

• Wash the herbs and greens. Fill a large bowl or clean sink with cold water, and add the leaves. Swish them around to loosen dirt, then gently lift out and dry in a salad spinner or on clean kitchen towels. (You can do this up to a day ahead, refrigerating the dry leaves in sealed plastic bags or containers with a paper towel to absorb excess water.)
• When ready to serve, whisk together the salt, pepper, red-pepper flakes, lime juice and olive oil in a small bowl, then check the seasonings. Put the leaves in a large bowl, drizzle the dressing over them and toss gently to coat. Serve immediately.

TOMATO AND BIBB LETTUCE SALAD

Steps:

• Combine the mayonnaise and vinegar in a medium bowl with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Whisk in the olive oil and parsley.
• Arrange the lettuce leaves on a large platter and top with the tomatoes, onions and olives. Drizzle with some of the vinaigrette and serve.

CREAMY BIBB SALAD

Steps:

• Rinse 2 or 3 anchovy fillets, then puree in a blender with a handful each of chopped chives and parsley and the juice of 1 lemon. Add 1/2 cup mayonnaise and 1/2 cup sour cream and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, then drizzle over Bibb lettuce.

BIBB SALAD WITH PARMESAN BUTTER CROSTINI

Steps:

• For the crostini: Place an oven rack in the lower 1/3 of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Arrange the bread slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden. In a small bowl, using a fork, mix the butter and cheese together until smooth.
• For the salad: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and oil until combined and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Place the lettuce, fennel, basil, and mint in a salad bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well.
• To serve: Spread the Parmesan butter on the toasted bread and serve alongside the salad.

BIBB-AND-CITRUS SALAD WITH SESAME CRUNCH

Steps:

• Sesame Crunch:Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine almonds, sesame seeds, coriander, sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. Add egg white and stir to combine. Spread mixture into a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Roast, stirring once, until golden and crunchy, about 12 minutes. If sticking to pan, scrape up with a spatula, then let cool completely. Crunch can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week. (Makes 3/4 cup.)
• Salad:Remove peel and white pith from grapefruits. Slice 2 into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Hold remaining grapefruit over a bowl and cut between membranes, allowing segments to fall into bowl. Squeeze juice into bowl.
• Whisk together mustard, vinegar, 2 teaspoons juice, and coriander. Gradually whisk in both oils until thick and emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.
• Toss lettuce with 1/4 cup dressing; season with salt and pepper. Serve with avocados, grapefruit slices and segments, herbs, and sesame crunch, drizzled with more dressing.

BIBB, WATERCRESS, AND MINT SALAD
