Feb 03, 2021
Lots of crunch with a Zesty Preserved Lemon Vinaigrette
Shaving vegetables brings a nice look and texture to a salad. Shave with a sharp, wide vegetable peeler… so easy and fun.
I like to have watermelon and purple daikon radishes in my fridge, they are great keepers and add a blast of gorgeous color and zippy flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 cups romaine lettuce leaves, cleaned and dried
- 2 mini cucumbers, persian type
- 1/3 cup radishes, I use watermelon radishes and purple daikon
- 1/2 cup microgreens
- 1 recipe Preserved Lemon Vinaigrette (use about 1/2 cup in this recipe)
Instructions
- Make the Preserved Lemon Vinaigrette
- Prepare Vegetables: Leave inner small romaine lettuce leave whole, cut the rest into bite sized pieces (can use all small leaves.) Shave the cucumbers lengthwise with a vegetable peeler. Can also use a mandoline. Wash and dry radishes, peel if you like. Shave thinly into circles.
- Plate the romaine on individual plates, or add to a serving bowl. Add the shaved cucumbers, bending them into pretty shapes. Top with radishes and sprinkle all over with microgreens. Drizzle with the Preserved Lemon Vinaigrette - enjoy!
