with Radish-Zucchini Garnish
recipe and photograph created by www.finedinings.com

an easy make ahead dinner pleaser

Salad Greens (use Romaine or Butter Lettuce)
Radishes, ends trimmed, sliced very thin
Green zucchini squash, ends trimmed, sliced very thin lengthwise
Extra-virgin olive oil
Salt, to taste
Cracked black pepper
2-1/2-inch ring molds (I use clean 8 ounce tomato sauce cans, both ends removed)

Put ring mold on a plate, oil the inside. Sprinkle radish slices with salt, pepper and oil, stand them up against inside of mold overlapping slightly. Can be done ahead.

Season squash slices with salt and pepper, roll them up then pull the center top up slightly to make a tower (see my photo); fasten with a toothpick. Can be done ahead.

In a small bowl toss Romaine with extra-virgin olive oil, salt and pepper. Carefully place inside the mold without disturbing radish slices, slowly lift off the mold; remove toothpick from zucchini roll, place on top the greens. Garnish plate with drizzles of olive oil and balsamic vinegar if desired and serve.
