Fresh Garden Salad

SERVES 4

1 quart fresh garden lettuces (perhaps a combination of radicchio, arugula, bibb, and oakleaf)

2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon (15 ml) hazelnut or olive oil

1 teaspoon (5 ml) Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon (15 ml) minced fresh herbs (combination of basil, chives, mint, and thyme)

Directions:

1. Combine the lettuces in a serving bowl.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients. Drizzle over greens and toss to coat evenly right before serving. Makes 4 servings.

Note:

When preparing vegetable dishes, look for characteristic signs of freshness such as bright, lively color and crispness.
