Salad Base

Method

Salad Base

1

Prepare Greens

Wash romaine and baby greens thoroughly in cold water. Spin or pat dry until mostly moisture-free. Chop romaine into bite-sized pieces and combine with baby greens in a large salad bowl.

2

Add the halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, shredded carrot, and sliced radishes to the bowl. Toss gently to combine so ingredients are evenly distributed.

House Vinaigrette

3

Make Vinaigrette

In a small bowl or jar, whisk together red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey (or maple syrup), minced garlic, and minced shallot. Slowly drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil while whisking continuously until the dressing is emulsified. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust sweetness, acidity, or seasoning to preference.

4

If making ahead, store vinaigrette in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Shake well before using.

Assemble & Serve

5

Just before serving, drizzle approximately half of the vinaigrette (about 1 to 2 tablespoons per serving) over the salad base. Toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly. Add more dressing to taste, being careful not to overdress.

6

Scatter croutons over the tossed salad, sprinkle the grated Parmesan and toasted sunflower seeds (or walnuts) on top.

7

Serve immediately in individual bowls or on a large platter. Pass extra dressing at the table.
