Gluten Free Butter Lettuce Salad
Soft, pillowy butter lettuce is the perfect base for a salad that feels light but genuinely satisfying, and this one delivers on every level. Crisp cucumber, peppery radishes, fresh parsley, and feathery dill fronds come together in a bowl that looks as good as it tastes. The bright lemon-Dijon vinaigrette whisks up in minutes and coats every leaf with just the right balance of tang and sweetness from a touch of honey. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of gluten, so there's no label-scanning or ingredient-swapping required — just straightforward, wholesome cooking. Optional shaved Parmesan on top adds a salty, savory finish that takes the whole thing up a notch. This recipe serves four, making it an easy go-to for weeknight dinners or a crowd-pleasing side at your next gathering.
