- 10 radishes
- 2 heads Boston lettuce
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon minced shallot
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- Cut radishes into very thin slices (preferably using a manual slicer). Tear large lettuce leaves into bite-size pieces, leaving smaller leaves whole, and in a large bowl toss all lettuce with radishes.
- In a small bowl whisk together lemon juice, shallot, sugar, pepper, and salt to taste and add oil in a stream, whisking until emulsified. Drizzle dressing over salad and toss until combined well.
