This bright and mild vinaigrette won’t mask the delicate flavors of tender lettuces like Bibb and mesclun mix. You can make it in advance in a glass jar with a lid to store and shake to remix just before using.

Steps

1. Combine the shallot, vinegar, and fine sea salt in a jar. Secure the lid and shake until the salt dissolves. Add the olive oil, replace the lid, and shake vigorously until emulsified.
2. To dress the salad, place washed and well-dried lettuces in a large mixing bowl. Shake the vinaigrette to remix and drizzle in a few tablespoons at a time, tossing until the lettuce leaves are lightly coated. Sprinkle on a pinch of coarse sea salt for crunch, add freshly ground black pepper to taste, and toss once more before serving immediately.
