Juicy grape tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs and a light olive oil dressing make this bibb lettuce salad recipe a quick, fresh and easy side dish!
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the olive oil, Parmesan cheese, pepper, salt and fresh lime juice and set aside.

Notes
A salad spinner may seem like an unnecessary kitchen gadget, but it’s perfect for drying fragile lettuce leaves after rinsing them clean!
