By CheeseDiva

Ingredients

• 1 /2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, cut into slices
• 3 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh chives
• 1 head Butter lettuce, larger leaves torn into pieces

• 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
• 4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Preparation

Step 1

Sprinkle chives over lettuce in a large bowl.

Heat butter and garlic in a small heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until garlic is golden and butter has a slightly nutty aroma (there will be golden-brown bits of milk solids on bottom of pan), about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.

Toss salad with dressing and serve immediately.
