Butter Lettuce Salad

It's worth it to look for a Meyer lemon for this dressing, but If you can't find one, substitute with the juice of half a standard lemon mixed with 1/2 teaspoon of honey.

📝 Ingredients

• 1/4 cup sour cream
• juice of one small Meyer lemon
• 1 ounce finely shredded Pecorino Romano cheese
• 1 tablespoon minced chives
• kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 5 ounces butter lettuce leaves (washed, dried and torn into bite size pieces)
• 1 carrot (shaved into thin ribbons)
• 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves
• 2 ounces toasted hazelnuts (coarsely chopped)
• several shavings Pecorino Romano cheese

👨‍🍳 Instructions
