This is the simplest of salads, fresh washed baby spinach leaves with a few sliced shallots and a light spring vinaigrette. One of the food limitations that Ashkenazi Jews have taken on themselves is to not each legumes, mustard seeds come under that category. One of the main ingredients in a classic vinaigrette is mustard, in the recipe below lemon is used instead to provide a fresh tartness to the dressing.

120 ml (1/2 cup) olive oil
60 ml (1/4 cup) fresh lemon juice
The finely grated rind of one lemon
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
METHOD:
Combine oil, juice, lemon rind, and garlic in a jar with a tight fitting cover. Cover tightly, and shake vigorously, season to taste with salt and pepper.
