"Lettuce is one of my favorite foods—people laugh at me because of it," says Cathy Waterman. She loves to eat it in a salad with lemons that she preserves herself. "They add brightness to so many things," she says. Slideshow: Warm Winter Salads
How to Make It
In a bowl, whisk the vinegar, shallot, preserved lemon, mustard and kosher salt. Whisk in the olive oil in a steady stream until blended.
In a large bowl, toss the lettuce, avocado, fennel and 1/4 cup each of the almonds and pomegranate. Toss with 1/2 cup of the vinaigrette. Transfer to a platter and garnish with the remaining almonds and pomegranate. Sprinkle with Maldon salt and pepper. Serve with the remaining vinaigrette at the table.
