Ingredients
½ head baby butter lettuce
1 ½ cups fresh parsley
1 cup fresh cilantro

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Juice of ½ lemon (1-2 Tbsp, adjust to taste)

1 medium shallot, roughly chopped
½ tsp coarse salt

More mint and parsley
-
Replace with another herb like basil, celery leaves or dill, or any leafy green – think spinach, butter lettuce or arugula
