My brother lettuce, and my other brother lettuce

Lettuce. What is there to say about lettuce? It's delicious when it's fresh, and fresh is really all we're looking for in lettuce. Fresh, and green. Crisp is good. It was all those things.

It probably has an actual name, but I'm not sure what that might be. Plain lettuce? Regular lettuce? It looks like this:


We also got arugula. Arugula is a peppery, slightly bitter lettuce, which looks almost nothing like this:



But lettuce, eaten raw, is very boring to write about. Just rinse and eat. So instead, try this dijon mustard vinaigrette we made this week, to eat on your lettuces.

Dijon Mustard Vinaigrette

1 Tbsp dijon mustard
1 Tbsp some kind of vinegar
1/2 Tbsp lime juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil

Steps:
1. Whisk together all ingredients except olive oil
2. Slowly whisk in olive oil until you have the volume of dressing you need
