“We’ve had this fresh and easy salad on the menu at Burnt Ends since opening,” says Pynt. “The trick is to use basic vinegar and basic oil. Seriously. I use basic red wine vinegar and a pomace – or second press – olive oil. Don’t be tempted to use fancy stuff.
You don’t need it.” 2 heads butter lettuce,

rounds on a mandolin
