Butter Lettuce Salad

There's nothing that tastes better than a fresh home-made salad on a hot summer day.
This recipe was introduced to us by a European chef. I love it when I have guests and they offer to cook for us and I, of course, have benefited from these recipes.
This year my daughter decided to grow butter lettuce in her newly raised garden bed.
It's simple and delicious.
