A delicate salad dressed in vinaigrette, this is a nice accompaniment to most any kind of meal. You will find fresh salad mix, baby kale, arugula, radishes, basil, and cucumbers at the market this week!


  • 4 to 6 ounces tender greens (spring mix or other baby greens)
  • 1 small bunch of radishes, trimmed and sliced
  • ½ medium or 1 smallish cucumber, thinly sliced 
  • ½ cup chopped fresh herbs of your choice (basil, parsley, dill, cilantro, or a combination)
  • 1 cup or so green sprouts (such as sweet pea shoots or broccoli sprouts)
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced, or about 1/4 cup chopped chives
  • Bottled or homemade vinaigrette, as needed
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
  • Fennel seeds, pumpkin seeds, or sunflower seeds for garnish

Combine all the greens, radishes, cucumber, herbs, sprouts, and scallion in a large serving bowl and toss together. 

Use enough dressing to moisten the salad, then toss again.

Sprinkle with the seeds and serve. Pass around additional dressing for individual servings.
