Ingredients
For the creamy citrus vinaigrette (dressing):
1Tablespoonyellow onion or shallot, finely chopped
2headartisan romaine lettuce, washed (or any lettuce around 6 inches long)
2radish, thinly sliced (optional for garnish)
Pistachio, roughly chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Combine the finely chopped yellow onion or shallot into a mixing bowl with the vinegar. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to help remove some spiciness from the onion/ shallot.
While the onion/ shallot marinate, cut the 2 heads of lettuce in half, long ways. Dry off any excess water as needed.
Once the 10 minutes have passed, add the remaining ingredients for the vinaigrette and whisk until well combined. Use the dressing immediately by drizzling it over the lettuce halves or cover and store it in the fridge for up to 1 week, just give it a good mix before using.
Dress the salad with some freshly sliced radish and a sprinkle of chopped pistachios. Enjoy!
Notes
The vinaigrette dressing in this recipe is perfect for 2 small heads of lettuce, halved, dressed normally. If you prefer to have more dressing per half lettuce, just double the recipe.
Radish: If you are adding some nice thinly sliced radish to your salad, here's a cool tip: soak them in cold water! Soaking sliced radish in cold water helps keep them firm, crisp, and fresh longer. To slice radishes super thin or any vegetables super thin, we highly recommend investing in a good mandoline. They are very handy to have.
