Ingredients

2 medium shallots, thinly sliced
1/2 cup neutral oil
pinch of salt
1 bag greenhouse greens
1 cup daikon radish, shaved into thin ribbons or cut into matchsticks
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp honey
1/4 cup olive oil

Method

1. Make the crispy shallots.  Heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat.  Add shallots and cook slowly, stirring often until brown and crisp.  Remove with slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate or rack and sprinkle with salt.  They will crisp more as they cool.

2. Make the dressing.  In a small bowl, whisk lemon juice and honey.  Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking until emulsified.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Assemble the salad.  In a large bowl, gently toss greens and daikon with just enough dressing to lightly coat.  Transfer to platter and scatter crispy shallots and scallions over the top.
