| 沙律 For the salad: | |
| 1個圓生菜 | 1 soft round lettuce |
| 1個寶石生菜 | 1 little gem lettuce |
| 1個菊苣 (或更多寶石生菜) | 1 small radicchio (or an extra little gem) |

| 檸檬醬汁 For the lemon dressing: | |
| 1個檸檬 | 1 lemon |
| 6湯匙特製冷壓橄欖油 | 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
用具 Utensils
| 空的有蓋果醬罐 | Empty jam jar with lid |
| 量匙 | Measuring spoons |
| 砧板 | Chopping board |
| 刀 | Knife |
| 篩 | Colander |
| 沙律脫水器或乾淨茶巾 | Salad spinner or clean tea towel |
| 大沙律碗 | Large salad bowl |
做法 Method
- 製作檸檬汁，把檸檬切成一半，然後擠入檸檬汁進空罐。
To make the dressing, halve the lemon, then squeeze the juice into an empty jam jar, using your fingers to catch any pips.
- 加入油和一小撮海鹽和黑胡椒進空樽。
Add the oil and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper to the jar.
- 蓋實蓋子，然後搖勻醬汁。
Put the lid securely on the jar and shake well.
- 如需要可加入更多檸檬汁或油令它有更佳的質感。
Have a taste and see whether you think it needs a bit more lemon juice or oil – you want it to be slightly too acidic, so that it’s still nice and zingy once you’ve dressed your salad leaves.
- 用刀剪走生菜的根部，分散葉子，扔走破損壞掉的葉子。
Use a knife to trim the roots away from all the lettuces. Separate out the leaves, throwing any tatty ones away.
- 把蔬菜放進篩裏用水清洗。
Pop them in a colander and give them a good wash under cold running water over the sink.
- 用脫水器弄乾蔬菜，或用茶巾包著蔬菜搖乾，然後把葉子放進大碗。
Spin them dry in a salad spinner, or wrap in a clean tea towel and shake dry, then pile the leaves into a large salad bowl.
- 摘下香菜並加進碗裏，扔走莖部。
Pick and add the herbs to the bowl, discarding the stalks.
- 從高處淋上3湯匙檸檬汁，然後用手拌勻蔬菜和醬汁，不要太重手加太多醬汁，因為會令葉子變軟。
From a height, drizzle 3 tablespoons of the dressing over the leaves and gently toss together with the tips of your fingers until every leaf is coated – try not to be heavy- handed and don’t be tempted to overdress or the leaves will go limp.
- 如需要可再加入醬汁，要注意加太多就不能回頭，所以要小心處理。蓋上蓋子，並把剩餘的醬汁放進雪櫃保留。
Have a taste and add a splash more dressing, if needed – remember you can always add more but you can’t take it away, so be cautious. Pop the lid securely on the jam jar and keep the leftover dressing in the fridge for another day. Serve the salad straightaway.
