Ingredients
Lettuce Radish Salad Ingredients:
1large romaine lettuce (or 2 small head romaine)
4small cucumbers (or 1 English cucumber) - thinly sliced
10-11radishes (1 bunch) - trimmed and thinly sliced
In a small bowl, combine and stir together 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp ground black pepper. Set aside.
How to Make Lettuce Radish Salad:
Rinse and paper towel pat dry all vegetables.
In a medium salad bowl, combine 4 small thinly sliced cucumbers, 1 bunch thinly sliced radishes and 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh chives. (Using Benriner Mandoline makes it extra easy).
Chop 1 large romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces and add it to the salad.
Drizzle with lemon vinaigrette and toss gently until salad is evenly coated. You can also drizzle without tossing the salad and serve.
Notes
To make the salad in advance - cover with plastic food wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. Keep the salad and the vinaigrette separate until ready to serve. Here are some make-ahead tips:
Vinaigrette – make this in a small mason jar. Shake it well before drizzling over salad when serving in case it separates.
Salad – prepare the salad in full, place cucumbers on the bottom of a bowl, top with radish and lettuce on top. Placing lettuce on top will ensure it stays crunchy and definitely not flat.
