Food & Cooking Recipes Salad Recipes Boston Lettuce with Shaved Parmesan 5.0 (3) Close Prep Time: 15 mins Total Time: 15 mins Servings: 8 Sometimes the best salad is the simplest one -- this dish features buttery Boston lettuce, shaved Parmesan, and a classic vinaigrette. Directions In a small bowl or jar, whisk or shake vinegar, mustard, and oil until combined and thickened; season with salt and pepper. (Dressing can be made ahead and refrigerated, covered, until ready to serve.) In a large bowl, combine lettuce with dressing and 3/4 cup cheese; toss gently to coat. Divide among plates, and top with remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Serve immediately. Cook's Notes Use a sturdy vegetable peeler (a wide harp-shape one works best) to shave the Parmesan into long pieces.
