Greens Cukes And Radish Salad With Creamy Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• For the dressing:
• In a medium saucepan, bring a few inches of water to a boil. Using a slotted spoon, gently lower in the eggs and cook for 9 minutes (or 8 minutes if you like the yolk a little softer). While the eggs cook, set up a bowl of ice water in the sink; transfer the just boiled eggs to the ice bath.
• Allow the eggs to cool in ice water, then peel them and separate the yolks from the whites. Reserve the whites for another use and push the yolks through a a sieve or a "spider" spatula into a medium mixing bowl. Add the mustard, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper; stir until smooth. Gradually whisk in the oil, creating a creamy, mayo-like emulsion with a bit more texture. Season and add additional lemon juice to taste.
• For the salad:
• Put the lettuces and radishes in a salad bowl and spoon over most of the dressing. Season with a sprinkle of salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Gently but thoroughly toss the salad with your hands to coat the leaves well. Taste a leaf and add more dressing, lemon, salt, or pepper as needed. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Toss radishes with salt; let stand for about 10 minutes. Drain any liquid and transfer radishes to a large bowl. Add red onion and cucumber slices.
• Whisk olive oil, vinegar, sugar, garlic, and dill in a small bowl until well mixed; pour over vegetables and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Steps:

• Toast flaxseeds in a large dry skillet over medium heat, tossing often, until fragrant, about 2 minutes; transfer to a small bowl. Toast amaranth in same skillet until fragrant, about 2 minutes; add to flaxseeds and let cool.
• Whisk crème fraîche, horseradish, and vinegar in a large bowl. Thin with water, if needed; season with salt and pepper. Add greens and flowers, if using, and toss to coat. Serve topped with flaxseeds and amaranth.
• DO AHEAD: Flaxseeds and amaranth can be toasted 5 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
