Although we used Asian greens and radish sprouts for our salad, we encourage you to explore your local farmers market and use whatever small young greens (baby spinach, arugula, or watercress, for example) and other fresh goodies you find.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 6

Ingredients

1/2 pound shallots
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil for frying
6 ouncesmizuna and tatsoi (mixed; about 6 cups loosely packed)
1/3 cup radish sprouts
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
sea salt to taste

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cut shallots into 1/8-inch-thick slices. In a heavy 10-inch skillet cook shallots in oil over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, 15 to 20 minutes. With a slotted spoon transfer shallots to paper towels to drain and season with salt. Reserve 3 tablespoons oil for dressing salad and cool shallots to room temperature. Shallots may be fried 2 days ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.

    Step 2

    Just before serving, in a large bowl toss together greens, sprouts, reserved oil, vinegar, and sea salt. Sprinkle shallots over salad.
