Ingredients
Salad
1 head green leaf lettuce, chopped
2 ribs celery, sliced
1 tomato, chopped
1/8 head red cabbage
2 carrots, peeled
2 radishes
2 green onions
Vinaigrette
6 tablespoons olive oil
2 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons plus 1½ teaspoon
3/4 teaspoon Kosher salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons lemon juice
Directions
- For the salad: In a large bowl, add the lettuce, celery, and tomato. Thinly slice the cabbage. Cut the carrots in half lengthwise, then slice. Shave the radishes on a mandoline. Thinly slice the green tops of the onions. Add everything to the bowl and refrigerate while making the vinaigrette.
- For the vinaigrette: In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, add olive oil, vinegar, ½ teaspoon salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Cover and shake. Spoon vinaigrette from the bottom of the jar onto a piece of lettuce and taste.
- Assemble the salad: Season the chilled greens with ¼ teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Give the dressing a stir and then drizzle around the outer edge of the bowl. Gently toss with your hands to combine. Taste one more time, adjust seasoning, and serve.
