Toppings

Method

Preparation of Lettuce

  1. 1

    Wash and Dry

    Thoroughly wash the Butter, Romaine, and Red Leaf lettuce under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Use a salad spinner or a clean kitchen towel to dry them completely.

  2. 2

    Tear the Lettuce

    Once dry, tear the lettuce leaves into bite-sized pieces. Place them into a large salad bowl.

Add Toppings

  1. 3

    Grate Grana Padano

    Using a grater, finely grate the Grana Padano cheese and sprinkle it over the torn lettuce in the bowl.

  2. 4

    Add Lemon Zest

    Using a microplane or zester, zest the lemon and add it to the salad, ensuring an even distribution throughout the lettuce.

  3. 5

    Season with Flake Salt

    Sprinkle the flake salt over the salad to taste, adjusting the amount based on your preference.

Toss and Serve

  1. 6

    Toss the Salad

    Gently toss the salad with your hands or salad tongs until all ingredients are well mixed together, ensuring that the cheese, lemon zest, and salt are evenly distributed.

  2. 7

    Plate and Serve

    Transfer the tossed salad to individual serving plates or a large serving dish. Serve immediately as a fresh side dish or light main course.
