Lettuce hearts with anchovies and melon vinaigrette

By Administrador 2019/06/14

Tudela lettuce hearts with anchovies are a classic dish. The very paradigm of simplicity. Proof alone that, when the raw materials are good, a few ingredients are all that is needed to enjoy a genuine delight... And lettuce hearts and anchovies are exactly that! What do you think when you see lettuce hearts? We always imagine them topped with fillets of Cantabrian anchovies from the Bay of Biscay!

But when it comes to seasoning a lettuce heart salad with anchovies, there’s more than one way to skin a cat, so today we’d like to suggest Iratxe’s recipe, with diced melon to give it a surprising touch. Take note!
