How to Make Argentina Special Salad

  1. Wash 5 oz of lettuce leaves thoroughly and spin dry in a salad spinner or let drain for 30 minutes in a colander.
  2. Stack the lettuce leaves and slice into 1cm ribbons. Place in a large, shallow salad bowl.
  3. Evenly scatter 1/2 cup of grated carrot over the lettuce.
  4. Top with 4 oz of mozzarella cheese, torn into bite-sized pieces, 1/4 cup of walnuts (roughly chopped), and 1/4 cup of oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, halved.
  5. In a small jar, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  7. Serve immediately. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses (feta, goat cheese) or add other vegetables like cucumbers or bell peppers for extra flavor and texture.
