a salad i thought i'd share with the world.

so my improvised vinaigrette and salad for the week is a new favorite.  here you go internetfriends.


morgan's new go-to salad.


ingredients for the dressing
1 small shallot, very finely chopped
1 1/2 T lemon juice
1 1/2 T balsamic vinegar
1 T orange muscat champagne vinegar (impulse buy at TJ's)
6 T olive oil
1 t dijon mustard
a drop of honey
salt and peppa

ingredients for the salad
boston lettuce, torn into pieces that aren't an annoying size to have on a fork (very important...)
cucumbers, halfway peeled and chopped
radishes, thinly sliced
crumbled feta
pine nuts or pepitas (or both!)

directions
1.  mix all the dressing ingredients together (let the shallot sit in the lemon juice and vinegars for 15-20 minutes of you have time).
2.  put the salad ingredients into individual sized bowls.  pour the dressing on and eat right now go!



oh and this week was my first time using radishes, so i thought i'd keep it real simple by just slicing em and putting them in my salad.  they were really really delicious; just the right amount of weird radish spicy (what is that?).  perhaps next time i'll get more adventurous, but this was so good there might not be a need for that.

  1. That TJ's vinegar is da bomb. The bottle indicates that you can mix a few Tbsps of the stuff with seltzer, which I want to try.
    The radishes in the CSA box were wicked spicy this week!
