Ingredients

  • 34 heaping tablespoons leftover aioli
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon, or more, as needed
  • 3 heads little gem lettuce, washed and chopped into large bite-sized pieces
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Whisk aioli with lemon juice until fully incorporated. It should be on the looser side, but still creamy. In a large mixing bowl, toss lettuce with dressing until evenly coated and transfer to serving plates or bowls. Top with as much freshly cracked black pepper as desired.
