- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
- 5-8 leaves fresh butter lettuce
Instructions
Make the Dressing

Notes
Instead of serving the salad on a bed of lettuce, you can chop the lettuce leaves and toss them in the salad.
If you don't plan to serve the salad immediately after you've made it, store it separately from the walnuts and the dressing in the fridge for up to 3 days. Combine directly before serving.
The excessive dressing can be used for as a dip or spread for sandwiches and wraps.
