We’ve been eyeing up lots of recipes in Ottolenghi Simple and so far have only made a green salad. As green salads go however it was pretty good with a great fresh flavour from the herbs and cucumber and an unusual dressing. We served this with some spiced baked salmon but it would be great with loads of dishes.
Make the salad dressing by whisking all of the ingredients together in a small bowl.
Cut the cucumbers into quarters, lengthways. Cut each quarter diagonally into ½ cm slices and put into a large bowl with the lettuce, mint and coriander. Gently mix in the dressing and spread into over a large shallow bowl. Sprinkle with the nigella seeds and serve.
I never heard of Lambs Lettuce!
