Recipe from Food Blog, “The Defined Dish”
There is just something about the tender, silky bibb lettuce leaves tossed in the tangy black-truffle vinaigrette. The black truffle oil does cost around $13 for a small bottle, but you only use 2 teaspoons of it for each salad, leaving you with the ability to make this salad over and over again.
I also love the Mimolette cheese, a hard French cheese but when grated its got a fudgy texture with a nutty, salty, and buttery flavor. It’s the perfect finish on this delightful salad and is pretty easy to find.I
If you cannot find it, substitute bright orange gouda cheese.

Serves 2 people

FOR THE BLACK TRUFFLE VINAIGRETTE:
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
2 tsp black truffle oil
1/2 tsp dijon mustard
1 small shallot, loosely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp cracked black pepper

FOR THE SALAD:
1 head bibb lettuce also known as: Boston or butter lettuce
1/4 cup grated Mimolette cheese

In a small bowl, combine all of the vinaigrette ingredients. Whisk until well combined.
Place the bibb lettuce in a large bowl.
Right when ready to serve, toss with the vinaigrette until evenly coated.
Top with Mimolette cheese and a few extra cracks of black pepper.
Serve immediately! Enjoy!
