I discovered Mizuna lettuce last year. It has a great peppery flavor that I fell in love with and was so happy when I found some on a visit to the Union Square Farmer’s Market. With a few other ingredients from the market, I made this delightful salad.

Ingredients
Mizuna Radish Salad
8cupsMizuna lettucechopped
8cupsRomaine lettucechopped
1watermelon radishthinly sliced and quartered
2small carrotgrated
1applechopped (I used ginger gold)
1 tomatochopped
1cuppomegranate seeds
leavesfrom 20 stalks or oregano
Dressing Ingredients:
1/3cupblack raspberry jamor use seedless blackberry jam
Heat enough oil for deep frying. Add sweet potato slices in a single layer and fry for about 2-3 minutes, until they rise to the top and start to curl. As soon as you see any brown start to appear, remove from hot oil onto a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
While still hot, sprinkle salt and pepper on top.
After you’ve fried the sweet potato, do the same with the fresh pasta. Break into small pieces after you’ve fried and seasoned them.
Now let’s make the salad dressing.
Combine harissa, jam, salt, apple cider and apple cider vinegar in a bowl. Whisk until smooth.
While whisking, slowly drizzle in olive oil until thoroughly combined and homogenous. This will yield about 3 cups of salad dressing.
To make salad, combine all salad ingredients with desired amount of dressing. Toss well.
