This is an everyday dressing that is wonderful on all variations of lettuces and vegetables. It's a welcome change from bottled dressing and so easy to make.

1 tablespoon minced shallot
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon agave syrup
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 ounces mixed lettuces

Preparation
