Preparation
- For the salad: Wash and dry the lettuce. Halve the cherry tomatoes, and dress them with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Pick the tarragon from the stems and slice the chives into ½" diagonal slices.
- To serve, place the lettuce on a plate, with all the leaves facing in the same direction.
- Mix the herbs into the tomatoes and sprinkle over the salad with the radishes.
- For the croutons: Toss the torn pieces of bread with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and toast in the oven until golden brown.
- For the dressing: Place all the ingredients in a blender, and blend until smooth. If the dressing is too thick, it can be thinned with a little water. Season to taste with additional lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
