1 1/4 pounds mixed whole small lettuces (4 to 6 in. long), ends trimmed; or use 10 oz. salad mix
Meyer Lemon Cream Salad Dressing
1 cup sugar snap peas, thinly sliced on a diagonal
3/4 cup thinly sliced radishes
1/2 cup torn fresh mint leaves

Instructions

Very thinly slice lemon crosswise, using a handheld slicer and removing seeds with a knife tip as you go. Discard ends.
Toss lettuces in a large bowl with about 1/2 cup dressing. Add snap peas, radishes, and a little more dressing and toss again. Arrange salad on chilled plates and tuck in lemon slices and mint. Serve with more dressing if you like.
