fruity – nutty with that certain kick – makes a powerful impression!

Wash and trim the lamb’s lettuce, and set aside. Peel the mandarin oranges, cut into segments, and set aside. Place the remaining ingredients, except for the pumpkin seeds, in a sealable jar and shake well. Season with salt, honey, and cayenne pepper. In a large bowl, toss the lamb’s lettuce with the dressing and mix well with your hands. Add the mandarin oranges and fold in. Divide among four plates and garnish each with about 1/2 tablespoon of pumpkin seeds. I always use a fruity French Dijon mustard with raisins—it gives the dressing a lovely fruity, sweet flavor. The salad also tastes good using regular or sweet mustard.
