Colourful Leaf Salad with Radishes and Herb Dressing

Preparation

Wash the lettuce leaves in a large bowl of cold water. Dry them very thoroughly in a colander or salad spinner; wet leaves dilute the dressing and wilt more quickly.
Wash the radishes, trim off the roots and leaf ends, then slice them thinly with a knife or mandoline. Finely chop the parsley and cut the chives into small rings.
Whisk the lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper smooth in a large salad bowl with a small whisk or fork. Pour in the olive oil slowly while continuing to whisk, until the dressing looks slightly creamy and does not separate straight away.
Stir the parsley and chives into the dressing. Taste one drop: only now adjust with a small pinch of salt, pepper or a little more lemon juice if needed.
Add the dry lettuce leaves and radishes only just before eating. Use two large spoons or clean hands to lift and turn the salad gently from the bottom, until every leaf has only a light coating.
Divide immediately among four plates or transfer to a serving bowl. If the salad must wait, keep the dressing separate and combine it only before serving.
