Fresh Herb Oil and Red Wine Vinegar Dressing

On a cold, sunny day I visited Veronica Worthington at her farm in West Dennis. We sat in her greenhouse and talked about the variety of lettuces she grows in spring, summer and fall. Several seedlings were started in trays. One, called Deer Tongue, is Worthington’s spring favorite. She says, “I love this lettuce. I garnish it very simply, a small amount of pressed garlic, a drizzle of good olive oil, a douse of salt, and that’s it! I don’t want to interfere with the true flavor of this special lettuce.” Look for it at the farmers’ market this spring or get it from her stand at Tuckernuck Farm in West Dennis. I always like to double or triple this recipe and keep in the refrigerator. It is more convenient to have it on hand rather than make it each time I want a salad.
