I love salads! I love Boston lettuce, too. Give this one a try. It's refreshing and different. If you can, make the dressing several hours ahead or the day before so the flavors can blend.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Dressing

1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons finely chopped shallots
fresh ground pepper

Salad

1 large head boston lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces (5 cups)
1 cup grated carrot (1 carrot)
1 cup grape tomatoes, rinsed and cut in half
2 tablespoons snipped fresh tarragon (optional) or chives (optional)

Directions

1
To prepare dressing: Whisk mayonnaise and mustard in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in orange juice until smooth. Stir in shallot. Season with pepper.
2
To prepare salad: Divide lettuce among 4 plates and scatter carrot and tomatoes on top. Drizzle the dressing over the salads and sprinkle with tarragon (or chives), if desired. Serve immediately.

Very refreshing. I wished that the orange had come through a bit more though. I did use fresh squeezed juice. Also, I had to use up a couple of vine ripened tomatoes, so used them instead. I used the optional snipped chives as my garnish. Made for Every Day Holiday Tag.
