Mesclun Salad

This vibrant mesclun salad is the epitome of simple, seasonal eating. Combining a variety of young, tender salad leaves, it offers a sophisticated balance of peppery, bitter, and mild flavours that work beautifully as a light starter or a refreshing side dish. The zesty homemade vinaigrette, featuring sharp lemon and a hint of Dijon mustard, cuts through the delicate greens without overpowering their natural taste.

As a versatile vegan dish, it pairs perfectly with everything from roasted Mediterranean vegetables to plant-based tarts. Because the leaves are so fine, this salad is at its best when prepared just before serving to maintain its crisp texture. It is an excellent choice for those seeking a healthy, gluten-free addition to their menu that requires minimal preparation and only five staple ingredients.
