Ingredients
For Quick-Pickled Shallots
- 1 shallot thinly sliced into rounds
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For the Dressing
- 4 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 ½ tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil toasted
For the Salad
- 4 little gem lettuce washed and separated into leaves
- ½ cup mixed fresh herbs (cilantro, parsley, dill, mint)
- 1 jalapeño slices, or green chili
- ¼ cup microgreens or sprouts
- 1 scallion sliced
- 2 teaspoon black sesame seeds toasted, mixed
- 2 teaspoon white sesame seeds toasted, mixed
Instructions
- Combine the pickled shallots, lemon juice, sugar, and season with salt in a small bowl. Let them macerate for 30 minutes.
- To make the dressing, whisk together the dressing ingredients until fully combined and smooth. This simple step highlights how homemade salad dressings can bring life to simple fresh greens.
- Make sure to wash your greens and pat dry (you may use a salad spinner if you have one). Arrange the vibrant green leaves on a platter or a large bowl of your choice, let your creativity flow.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad, reserving the remaining dressing to serve on the side or to adjust flavors to taste. Top with pickled shallots and green onions, sprinkle the sesame seeds and serve with lime wedges.
