Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 90kcal
Ingredients
- 5 cups lamb's lettuce
- 3 mini cucumbers sliced
- 5 radishes sliced
- 6 mint leaves
For the dressing
- 1.5 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or white distilled vinegar
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoon dill stems removed, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon mint leaves stems removed, finely diced
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Combine the extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, finely diced dill and mint and salt to a bowl. Whisk to combine to emulsify the dressing.
- Add the lamb's lettuce, diced cucumber, diced radish and mint leaves to a mixing bowl. Drizzle about half the dressing over the salad, toss to coat the lettuce and taste test. Add more dressing to preference, as we all like different amounts. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Make sure the lamb's lettuce is dry before use, as it can go soggy very easily.
- I suggest to make just before serving as the leaves wilt fairly quickly, and nobody likes a soggy salad!
