This delicate, lemony dressing is wonderful with most lettuces, both
delicate and robust. I especially like it with endive. If you can find
it, lemon-scented olive oil, sold in some gourmet shops, will add a
delicious flavor.

2 Tbsp finely diced shallot
1/8 to 1/4 tsp kosher salt, to taste
1/4 cup freshly squeezed Meyer lemon juice
Freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (plus 1 to 2 Tbsp for thinning out, if desired)
1/4 cup buttermilk or plain yogurt
1 Tbsp lemon-scented olive oil (optional)

1. Soak the shallot in cold water for five minutes. Drain and dry on a
doubled-over paper towel. Then combine with the salt and lemon juice in
a small bowl. Let sit for 15 minutes. Add the pepper, then whisk in the
olive oil and buttermilk or yogurt.

Advance preparation:
This dressing is best used shortly after making it, as the lemon juice
and the shallot will not taste as bright after a few hours.
