With Greens, Radishes, Hard-Boiled Egg and Mustard-Herb Vinaigrette
Serves 6
Fresh artichokes are a sure sign of spring! When simmered in a lemony cooking liquid, cooled slightly and dressed with a mustard-herb vinaigrette, this salad definitely leans towards a warmer weather dish, yet it’s hearty enough for those cooler days that linger. Zesty hydroponic watercress, thinly sliced watermelon radish and a little hard-boiled egg bring added substance. The zesty mustard-herb vinaigrette brings it all home.
