Recipe by Erin Scott
This salad works with any grilled meat or fish, and you can use any crisp lettuce you wish; Scott especially likes the firm, flavorful Little Gems she picks from her garden.

- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- Fine sea salt
- 1 pound Little Gem lettuces (about 4 heads, separated into leaves)
