GLUTEN-FREE ENTERTaiNiNG

Butter Lettuce Salad

with Caper Dressing

•Soy-free •Dairy-free •Nut-free

I love salads of simple greens tossed with a delicious dressing. Feel free to dress

this salad up with additional veggies, if you like.

1 clove garlic, finely minced

1 tablespoon (11 g) Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons (30 ml) red or white

wine vinegar

¼ cup (60 ml) olive oil

1 tablespoon (8 g) capers, roughly

chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

2 heads butter lettuce, washed,

dried, and torn into bite-size pieces

In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, Dijon, and vinegar. Add the olive

oil and whisk until incorporated. Stir in the capers, and season to taste with

salt and pepper. Toss the desired amount of dressing with the lettuce and

serve.

Yield: 6 servings

Chef’s Tip

Capers are salty, so be mindful of the amount of salt you add to the

dressing—you may need less than you think.

Sweet Tea Mint Julep

•Soy-free •Dairy-free •Nut-free

Two Southern classics combine here into one perfect cocktail. True sweet-tea connoisseurs

debate which kind of tea to use. I think Lipton or Luzianne both work great.

For SweeT Tea:

4 black tea bags

2½ cups (588 ml) boiling water

⅓ cup (66 g) sugar

For MInT jULep:

1 cup (235 g) crushed ice

4 mint sprigs

1 ounce (28 ml) bourbon

To make the sweet tea: Combine the tea bags with the boiling water. Let

steep for 10 minutes. Add the sugar and stir to dissolve. Remove the tea

bags and chill.

To make the mint julep: Put the crushed ice into a cocktail shaker along

with the mint, bourbon, and ¼ cup (60 ml) of the sweet tea. Shake to chill

and bring out the flavor of the mint. Pour the drink along with the crushed

ice into a tall glass and serve with a straw.

Yield: 1 serving

Chef’s Tip

Feel free to double the recipe for the sweet tea to offer to guests who

choose not to have a cocktail.
