Chopped Vegetable Salad With Lemon-Garlic Dressing

• Chopped Vegetable Salad with Lemon-Garlic Dressing
• Two servings
• I guess I'm more French than I thought because I'm not a fan of very hard vegetables raw, like broccoli, cauliflower, or green beans. So if I use them, I blanch or steam the vegetables lightly, to make them a bit more palatable.
• For the dressing:
• 2 cloves garlic, peeled and grated or minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1/4 cup (60ml) olive or grape seed oil, or another favorite oil
• For the salad:
• 6 cups (700g) mixed chopped vegetables and other additions, such as:
• -Crumbled bacon
• -Diced avocado
• -Cubed grilled chicken
• -Batons of baked tofu
• -Crumbled feta, goat, or blue cheese
• -Shredded romaine, radicchio, or gem lettuce
• -Sliced or quartered radishes
• -Grated or julienne-cut carrots
• -Shredded red cabbage
• -Minced parsley or chives
• _Lightly steamed or blanched broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, or asparagus
• -Diced hard-cooked eggs
• -Pumpkin seeds
• -Quartered cherry tomatoes

1. 1. In a large salad bowl, mix together the garlic, lemon juice, salt, and mustard with a fork
2. 2. Add the olive oil and stir with the fork until the dressing is well mixed. (I don't emulsify the dressing as I feel it gets too heavy and thick.)
3. 3. Add the salad ingredients and toss well.
