Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 pint fresh or 1 (16-ounce) can lychees, rinsed
  • 1 (3 1/2-ounce) package enoki mushrooms
  • 8 ounces mache lettuce
  • 1 pint mixed cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 lemon cucumbers, sliced into half-moons*
  • 1 English cucumber

Method

  • To make dressing, whisk together first 3 ingredients (through sugar) in a bowl. Add oil in a thin stream, whisking constantly. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • Peel and chop lychees. Gently separate mushrooms from one another.
  • For each serving, toss 1 cup mache with some cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, lemon cucumber, and English cucumber with 1 tablespoon dressing in a bowl. Top with 1 teaspoon chopped lychees and a dash of sea salt. (Add more lychees if you'd like a stronger floral flavor.)
  • *Note: If you can't find lemon cucumbers, use 8 red radishes.
