One of my favorite salads is ridiculously simple. It's butter lettuce, hearts of palm and this smooth and delicately sweet vinaigrette with the elegant blend of champagne vinegar, olive oil, fresh shallots and Dijon mustard. Mixing this the dressing in a food processor or blender gives it a creamy consistency.
