Delight your taste buds with a fresh mixed lettuce salad topped with a flavorful cucumber herb vinaigrette. Healthy and delicious!

Ingredients:

• 1 small cucumber, peeled, seeded and chopped
• ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon nonfat or low-fat plain yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1/2 small clove garlic
• Pinch of salt
• 2 cups Red Oak or other red leaf lettuce
• 2 cups Freckles or other baby romaine
• ½ cup sliced radishes
• 4 scallions, sliced
• 2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped (see Tip)

Instructions:

1. For making the vinaigrette: Blend together cucumber, oil, vinegar, chives, parsley, yogurt, mustard, horseradish, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a blender until the mixture is smooth.
2. To prepare the salad: Infuse flavor into a wooden salad bowl by rubbing it with garlic and a pinch of salt. Finely chop the garlic and place it in the bowl along with the lettuce. Drizzle 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette over the salad greens; mix well to ensure everything is coated. (Store the remaining 1 cup of vinaigrette in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.) Present the salad with additional garnishes such as radishes, scallions, and sliced hard-boiled egg.
