Ingredients
1/4 cup butter
1 head butterhead lettuce
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Directions
Rinse the butterhead lettuce under cold water and gently dry the leaves with a clean kitchen towel. Carefully separate the leaves from the head and tear larger leaves into bite-sized pieces. Arrange the lettuce in a large serving bowl.
Place the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Allow it to melt completely, watching carefully to avoid browning, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Remove the melted butter from the heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice until well combined.
Drizzle the warm butter and lemon dressing evenly over the butterhead lettuce in the serving bowl.
Season the salad with salt and black pepper to your taste. Gently toss the lettuce to coat evenly with the dressing, being careful not to bruise the delicate leaves. Serve immediately while the dressing is still warm.
