Method

Preparation of Lettuce

  1. 1

    Wash and Prepare Lettuce

    Rinse the little gem lettuce under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat dry with a clean towel. Cut each head in half lengthwise to create wedges.

    Make the Pistachio Crema

    In a food processor, combine the pistachios, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and water. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add more water, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

Preparation of Herbs

    Chop the Herbs

    Finely chop the fresh dill, parsley, and mint. Combine them in a small bowl and set aside.

Plating

  1. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    On a serving platter, arrange the little gem lettuce wedges. Drizzle the pistachio crema over the lettuce and sprinkle the chopped herbs on top. Serve immediately.
