Units
Scale
- 3 cups (720 ml) romaine lettuce, torn
- 1 red onion, cut into rings
- 2-3 tbsp feta, crumbled
- 2 peaches, cut into segments
- Juice of half a lemon (4 tbsp / 60 ml)
- 5 tbsp (75 ml) olive oil
- 1/2 tsp dried lavender flowers
- 1 tsp mustard
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
To make the dressing
- In a bowl add the lemon juice, salt, mustard ,lavender, garlic and balsamic vinegar and whisk
- Slowly drizzle the olive oil while you continue whisking until you have added the entire amount
- I usually add the onion rings to the dressing while I prepare the salad, this takes the sharp edge off the onions
To make the salad
- On the grill or in a pan on the stove top, lightly grill the peach segment
- In your serving plate, arrange the torn lettuce, topped with the grilled peach segments
- Take the onions out of the dressing and arrange on top of the lettuce
- Crumble the feta cheese on top
- Decorate with a few lavender twigs
- Drizzle the dressing on the salad right before serving
Notes
- Lavender is potent, so start with a small amount and adjust to taste.
- If fresh lavender is available, use three times the amount of dried.
- This salad is best served immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors.
- Store any leftover dressing in the refrigerator for up to a week.
