Summer is the perfect time to make a salad with ingredients that have unique flavors like lychees, fresh lemon cucumber, and enoki mushrooms. Ingredients:
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
1/2 teaspoon sugar |
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil |
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1 pint fresh or 1 (16-ounce) can lychees, rinsed |
1 (3 1/2-ounce) package enoki mushrooms |
8 ounces mâche lettuce |
1 pint mixed cherry tomatoes, halved |
2 lemon cucumbers, sliced into half-moons |
1 english cucumber |
Directions:
1. To make dressing, whisk together first 3 ingredients (through sugar) in a bowl. Add oil in a thin stream, whisking constantly. Season with salt and pepper; set aside. 2. Peel and chop lychees. Gently separate mushrooms from one another. 3. For each serving, toss 1 cup mâche with some cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, lemon cucumber, and English cucumber with 1 tablespoon dressing in a bowl. Top with 1 teaspoon chopped lychees and a dash of sea salt. (Add more lychees if you'd like a stronger floral flavor.) 4. *Note: If you can't find lemon cucumbers, use 8 red radishes. |
