Instructions

  1. Lay the lettuce out onto a wide round salad bowl.
  2. Top with all the ingredients, laying out each one in its own section.
  3. Scatter the basil leaves over the top.
  4. To make the dressing, give the tomato a rough chop and puree it in a small food processor.
  5. Whisk in the harissa or tomato paste, the vinegar, and the olive oil until blended. Add the salt and black pepper to taste.

Notes

  • The salad ingredients are all approximate, use more or less as you like. I like to use a handful of greens for each serving, just as a starting point.
  • If you prefer a non-spicy dressing, substitute tomato paste for the harissa.
