Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 small shallots, sliced thinly
1 tablespoon ginger juice (pressed from one 2-inch-long piece ginger, grated)
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons mirin, more to taste
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, more to taste
2 medium tomatoes
1/4 cup grapeseed oil
6 to 8 scallion tops in 2-inch pieces
8 ounces snow peas
1 cup green peas, fresh or frozen
3 sprigs tarragon, leaves stripped
6 ounces mixed lettuces like lola rosa, red oak, butter, romaine, arugula, mizuna, sorrel
3 ounces mixed mild-flavored sprouts like radish, pea and mung bean, washed and dried
8 leaves basil, in bite-size pieces
6 ounces daikon radish, peeled
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 ounce myoga bulb, sliced thinly (see note)

Steps:

  • Place shallots in a small bowl, add ginger juice, rice wine vinegar, mirin and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Turn to coat, and adjust brine to taste. Reserve in refrigerator.
  • Cut tomatoes into eight pieces, place in a blender and liquefy. Strain into a small bowl through a fine mesh sieve or a heavy-duty paper towel. You should have about 1/2 cup tomato water. Rinse and dry blender jar.
  • Place ice cubes from two trays in a roasting pan and fill it halfway with water. In a sauté pan, heat grapeseed oil. Add scallion tops and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, one minute. Transfer to a small bowl and place in the ice bath.
  • Bring 2 cups water to boil with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook snow peas about one minute. With a slotted spoon, transfer snow peas directly to ice bath to stop cooking. Return water to boil and add green peas. Cook one minute, add tarragon, stir once, and strain, reserving 2 ounces cooking liquid. Place green peas, tarragon and reserved liquid in blender and process until smooth. Press through fine sieve into a small bowl and chill over ice bath. You should have 1/2 cup tarragon-green pea purée. Rinse and dry blender, add scallions and oil, and pulse to a chunky purée. Reserve.
  • Remove snow peas from ice bath. Remove their strings and cut peas into thin strips. Place lettuces in a salad bowl, add sliced snow peas, sprouts and basil. Toss.
  • For the dressing: Grate daikon into a separate bowl. Add 1/4 cup tomato water, 2 tablespoons scallion oil, 3 tablespoons pea-tarragon purée, 2 tablespoons shallot pickling brine and the extra virgin olive oil. Taste and adjust seasonings.
  • Dress salad to taste, and season with salt and pepper. Divide salad evenly among six plates, garnish with shallot pickles and myoga slices, and serve immediately.

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the colorful salad and the sweet radish water.

I'm not a fan of radish water, so I used cucumber water instead. It worked just as well and gave the dish a refreshing flavor.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy side dish. I used a pre-washed lettuce mix and canned sprouts to save time.
