Lemon Pudding on Romaine Leaf Lettuce with Fresh Strawberries, Candied Pistachios and Cypress Black Sea Salt (naturally gluten free)

18 ingredients 16 servings openrecipes

This is an elegant dessert that had my partner AJ stating “Now that’s fancy!” when he saw it. It’s perfect for a buffet dinner, as all the components can be made beforehand and easily assembled at the last minute. The candied pistachios are especially great to have around the house. In fact, AJ ate my entire first batch, snacking on it, before I even had a chance to make this dessert, resulting in me having to make another round of it.
