👨‍🍳 Method

For the Salad Dressing

  1. 1
    In a small bowl, whisk the oil, lemon juice, honey, mustard, salt and black pepper until smooth.
    Bowl
    💡Mustard binds the oil with the rest of the dressing, so it doesn't separate quickly. Whisk just before pouring.

To assemble

  1. 2
    Slice the red onion into thin rings.
    KnifeCutting board
  2. 3
    Wash the leaves and dry well.
    Colander
    💡Wet leaves repel the dressing and it pools at the bottom of the plate: dry them well after washing.
  3. 4
    Arrange the leaves on a serving plate.
  4. 5
    Arrange on top the red onion.
  5. 6
    Sprinkle the cheese and nuts on top.
  6. 7
    Drizzle with the dressing and serve immediately.
    💡The dressing goes on only just before serving: dressed green leaves wilt within minutes.
