Serves 4

5 T flax oil

3 T brown rice vinegar

2 large shallots, finely diced (about 1/4 to 1/3 cup)

1 to 2 T sriracha sauce

1 T agave nectar

2 tsp minced garlic

1/2 tsp sea salt

1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

1 hothouse cucumber

1/2 head iceberg lettuce

2 T coarsely chopped cilantro

Methods/steps

Combine the oil, vinegar, shallots, sriracha, agave, garlic, salt and pepper in a bowl. Whisk until emulsified, and then allow the flavors to blend and develop while you prepare the vegetables.


Peel the cucumber and score the entire surface lengthwise with a fork. Cut in half lengthwise, then cut each half diagonally into long slices about 1/4-inch thick. Cut the iceberg lettuce into roughly 1-inch cubes. Place the cucumber and lettuce in a large bowl, add the cilantro and the prepared vinaigrette, and toss thoroughly. Serve at once.
