Lettuce Hearts with Shaved Hazelnuts

This vibrant vegan salad celebrates the simple beauty of crisp Little Gem hearts paired with a bright, citrus-led dressing. By using a variety of soft herbs like sorrel and nasturtium, you introduce a sophisticated peppery note that perfectly complements the mild sweetness of the lettuce. It is a light and refreshing dish that relies on the quality of its components to create a truly elegant plate.

Ideal as a refined starter or a seasonal side dish, this recipe is incredibly quick to assemble for a weekend lunch or dinner party. The addition of finely shaved blanched hazelnuts adds a delicate, buttery crunch and a touch of luxury. Serve it alongside grilled vegetables or crusty sourdough for a healthy, plant-based meal that feels wonderfully indulgent yet nourishing.
