Recipe

Lemon Tahini Dressing
This light dressing is a refreshing tonic and a fine partner to mesclun combined with a soft butterhead lettuce.

Rub the inside of a wooden salad bowl by pressing 1 clove smashed garlic with a pinch of salt. Mince the garlic and add to the bowl. Add juice from 2 lemons, 2 tbsp sesame tahini and 1/2 tsp sugar. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup extra virgin oil until well blended. Add 4 cups of mesclun blended with 1 cup mixed lettuce and toss.

Description

A flavorful mesclun that combines colorful Japanese mustards with piquant arugula, peppery Dutch broadleaf cress, and tangy red and green Italian chicories. Just a touch of our Cook's Tangy Mix will liven up a salad of milder greens, or if you have an adventurous palate, enjoy it on its own with a creamy dressing. Best adapted to cool weather, but it can be kept going into the dog days of summer by frequent planting and prompt, once-over harvest. Shade and water also help.
