Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups mixed greens
- 1 medium cucumber
- 4 small radishes
- 1 large carrot
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 medium red onion
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup fresh mint
- 1 large lemon
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the mixed greens thoroughly. Place them in a large salad bowl.
Peel the cucumber, if desired, and slice it into thin rounds. Add these to the salad bowl.
Trim the tops and bottoms of the radishes and slice them into thin rounds. Add them to the bowl with the greens and cucumber.
Peel and julienne the carrot using a julienne peeler or a sharp knife, then add it to the salad.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, and add them to the salad.
Slice the red onion thinly and add a quarter of it to the salad. Reserve the rest for another use.
Roughly chop the fresh parsley and mint, and sprinkle them over the salad.
In a small bowl, zest the lemon, then juice it, discarding any seeds. Add the zest and juice to the bowl.
Whisk the olive oil, salt, and black pepper into the lemon juice until well combined to form the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
Serve the salad immediately, or refrigerate for up to an hour to chill slightly before serving.
