Refreshing Green Salad with Fresh Herb Vinaigrette: A Simple, Healthy Recipe

Ingredients

Start with the freshest ingredients for the best flavor and crunch—sourced from local markets whenever possible.

  • 1 bunch fresh salad greens (far superior to bagged varieties)
  • A few pink radishes, thinly sliced (optional, for a peppery bite)

For the vinaigrette:

  • Classic mustard
  • Olive oil (or your preferred oil)
  • Kikkoman soy sauce
  • Fresh herbs (chives, parsley, coriander, or whatever you have on hand)

Preparation

Thoroughly wash and dry the salad greens to remove any grit.
Whisk 1 teaspoon of mustard with a drizzle of Kikkoman soy sauce in a bowl. Slowly incorporate olive oil while whisking for a smooth emulsion.
Season with freshly ground pepper to taste.
Finely chop the fresh herbs and fold them into the vinaigrette. Toss in the salad greens and sliced pink radishes if using. Serve immediately for maximum freshness.
