Ingredients

2 pints sunflower shoots (or 1/2 pound mixed baby greens)
1 handful fresh mint
1 tablespoon grainy mustard
1 tablespoon hot water
1 lemon, juiced
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 heaping tablespoon creme fraiche
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Wash and dry the shoots and mint, place in a large bowl.

In a mason jar, combine the mustard, water, lemon juice, oil, creme fraiche, sugar, salt, and pepper. Put the cap on and shake vigorously to emulsify. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the greens and toss well to coat. Serve immediately. Store any remaining vinaigrette in the jar in the refrigerator.

This dressing is a great dash of lemon flavor to a summer salad. So refreshing and light. And super easy to make!

Perfect side
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This salad was great with the scallop risotto. I used a baby romaine mix, dried mint (just a pinch) and heavy cream instead... of creme fraiche. I upped the sugar to about 2 t or 1T based on the reviewer suggesting it. I also added toasted chopped pecans. It was great!Read more

Very Good!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This recipe with it's tart dressing goes very nicely with the Sweet Pea and Scallop Risotto ricipe, which tends to be on the... conservative side flavor-wise. I substituted mixed baby greens with herbs for the sunflower shoots, and omitted the mint. I did find that I needed to increase the amount of sugar in the recipe (for my tastes) but otherwise it was perfect!Read more
