Super-Crunch Salad With Lemon Vinaigrette
Ingredients
- 4 medium breakfast radishes, use multicolored
- ¾ cups carrots, use heirloom multicolored, peeled
- ½ cup cucumbers
- ¼ cup Jerusalem artichokes, or jicama, peeled
- 1 cup curley red kale, stemmed, torn into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup green leaf lettuce
- ½ cup microgreens, or your favorite sprouts
- ¼ cup fresh shelled peas
- ¼ cup pomegranate seeds
- ¼ cup sunflower seeds
- 2 tablespoons hemp seeds
Preparation
1. Use organic vegetables. Wash and dry all. Julienne the first four vegetables.
2. Add them to a large bowl. Slice the kale and lettuce thinly (chiffonade) and add to the bowl.
3. Add the remaining five ingredients (microgreens through hemp seeds).
4. Toss all well. Refrigerate to crisp up, 1 hour; it will be super crunchy!
Make a simple lemon vinaigrette:
1. Add two strips of lemon rind to 1/4 cup of fruity extra virgin olive oil in a small saute pan.
2. Heat until just bubbly, remove from the heat.
3. When cool, discard the lemon rind (it imparts lots of zesty flavor!)
4. Whisk 2 tablespoons of lemon juice with a pinch of Himalayan sea salt and some freshly ground black pepper in a small bowl.
5. Stream in the lemon olive oil, whisking.
To serve: Dress and toss the salad before serving. Let the flavors mingle a few minutes and serve.
