1 large or 2 small heads butter lettuce, washed, spun dry and leaves torn into bite size pieces (about 16 cups)
1 cup thinly sliced red cabbage
4 radishes, sliced as thin as possible
2 carrots, preferably purple, scrubbed clean and julienned or sliced super thin
½ 1.75 ounce box micro greens
1 bunch fresh chives, chopped
For the dressing: (this will provide slightly more than you need, but will allow for a few add-ins)
1 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
3 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar, preferably raw
½ teaspoon sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
6-8 Tablespoons unrefined, cold-pressed, extra-virgin olive oil (depending on strength of vinegar)
1 teaspoon raw honey
Other additions/substitutions: a few kumquats sliced crosswise, chopped sugar snap peas, thinly sliced fennel, avocado, feta cheese, edible flowers, walnuts, mint leaves, flaky sea salt
Instructions
Place the butter lettuce in a large bowl and layer the remaining ingredients on top.
Place all the ingredients for the dressing in a bowl or screw top jar and whisk or shake to combine.
Drizzle just enough dressing to coat lightly and toss together. Finish with a sprinkle of flaky sea, if desired.
