Red Salad with Champagne VinaigretteJohn Kernick

We were surprised at how many different varieties of gorgeous red lettuces and red greens we were able to find to create this visually stunning salad. Tossed with a simple vinaigrette, it is a lovely counterpoint to the richness of the meat and potatoes.

Cooks' note:

Lettuces and greens can be washed and dried 1 day ahead and chilled in sealed plastic bags lined with paper towels.
