A simple green leaf lettuce, radish, and spring onion salad with a classic lemon vinaigrette. - Elizabeth Stark

Serves 4 to 6

For the vinaigrette:

1 tablespoon minced spring onion
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon medium-grain German mustard
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

For the salad:

1 bunch radishes, leaves trimmed to 1/4 inch and quartered
sea salt
1 bunch green leaf lettuce, torn, any thick stems removed
3 spring onions, minced (if there are flowers, halve them and reserve for garnish)
ground black pepper

In a small bowl, whisk the spring onion, lemon juice, mustard, and sea salt. Whisking, gradually add in the olive oil until it is emulsified into the dressing.

Toss the radishes with a pinch of sea salt and set aside.

Set half of the lettuce leaves in a large bowl and toss with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the prepared vinaigrette. Add the remaining leaves and toss with another 1 to 2 tablespoons vinaigrette.

Toss the radishes with the remaining vinaigrette. Transfer the lettuce to a bowl or serving platter and scatter it with the radishes and spring onions just before serving. Finish with a pinch of sea salt, ground black pepper, and any reserved onion flowers.
