Instruções

1. For the quick-pickled shallots: Thinly slice the shallots and add them to a mason jar. Cover with the apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, sweetener of choice, and 2 pinches of salt. Close the lid, shake, and set aside for 15 to 20 minutes.

2. In a small skillet over medium-low heat, toast the walnuts for about 2 minutes, stirring to avoid burning. Set aside to cool and then chop.

3. In a large salad bowl, combine the lettuce, avocado, radishes, toasted walnuts, parsley, and tarragon.

4. For the dressing: In a food processor, combine the mayo, olive oil, mustard, lemon juice, mint, and tarragon and blend for a minute. Add salt and pepper to taste.

5. Pour the dressing over the salad. Top with the lemon zest, feta, and as many pickled shallots as desired.

Their zesty flavor is perfect with the creamy, lemony Dijon dressing.
