Instructions

Step 1

To make the dressing, in a small bowl, whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

Step 2

To make the salad, in a large bowl, gently toss the lettuce leaves with half the dressing, making sure they're evenly coated. Add the fennel, radishes, carrots, and zucchini and mix gently to distribute. Divide the salad between two individual plates. Top with the cherries, parsley, and chives. Drizzle the remaining dressing over both plates. Sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
