Orange, Strawberry and Date Salad






1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons finely chopped shallot
1 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper


1 head Boston lettuce, torn into pieces
2 medium navel oranges
1 pint strawberries, hulled and quartered
1/2 cup pitted dates


For the dressing: Whisk together the lemon juice. shallots and tarragon
in a bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Season with salt and
pepper.

For the salad: In a bowl, coat the lettuce with all but 1/4 cup of the
dressing. Arrange the lettuce on individual serving plates. Cut off the
top and bottom of each orange, just exposing the flesh. With a sharp
knife, follow the curve of the fruit to cut away the peel, completely removing
the white pith. Slice out each segment of fruit, cutting in along
the membrane. Divide the oranges, strawberries and dates among the
plates. Drizzle with the remaining dressing.
