Lovers' Salad

12 ingredients
6 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 7 tablespoons olive oil
  • 12 lemon, zest of
  • fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • salt and pepper
  • mixed salad green
  • herbs (mint, sorrel, lovage, lemon balm, rosemary, nasturtiam flowers) (optional) or fresh edible flower (mint, sorrel, lovage, lemon balm, rosemary, nasturtiam flowers) (optional)
  • lettuce leaf
  • 1 cucumber, peeled and thickly sliced
  • olive (optional)

Directions

  1. 1
    First make the dressing: whisk the egg yolk, mustard and lemon juice in a small bowl, then add the oil slowly, in a very thin stream (rather like making a mayonnaise, although the texture should not be quite so thick).
  2. 2
    Add the lemon zest, rosemary and a little seasoning.
  3. 3
    Chill and allow to steep for a few hours.
  4. 4
    Just before serving, combine the salad ingredients and toss with the dressing.
  5. 5
    The flowers should be added last for visual effect: they can be added after the salad has been dressed, so as not to become wet.
  6. 6
    The whole meal is designed to be light but full of flavour.
