Butter Lettuce and Pumpkin Seed Salad Ingredients

Butter lettuce recipe

INGREDIENTS
• 1/2 cup hulled salted pumpkin seeds
• 3 medium roasted garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons unfiltered apple cider; or unfiltered, unsweetened apple juice
• 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 heads butter lettuce, washed and torn into large pieces


INSTRUCTIONS for cooking Butter Lettuce and Pumpkin Seed Salad


1. Toast pumpkin seeds in a medium frying pan over medium heat until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and reserve.
2. Combine garlic, cider vinegar, and apple juice in a small bowl. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Whisking continuously, slowly add the oil in a thin stream until fully incorporated. Season as necessary with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
3. Put the butter lettuce in a large salad bowl, coat with the dressing, and toss to combine. Garnish with the toasted pumpkin seeds and serve immediately.

Beverage pairing: Serve with a light pilsner, such as Czechvar, or with a British stout, like Samuel Smith’s Imperial Stout. If you prefer wine, a glass of Grüner Veltliner from Austria provides just enough fleshiness to accommodate the nutty sweetness of the pumpkin seeds and apple cider in this dish. Look for more fruit-driven vinifications of this white varietal, like the 2005 H.u.M. Hofer Grüner Veltliner or the 2004 Hiedler Thal.
