This recipe is a great way to use leftover Seed Crackers, which are like a crouton here. Bonus points for finding a Meyer lemon for the vinaigrette. If you use a standard lemon, add the honey to give it some sweetness.

- ½ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red chile flakes
- 4 cups trimmed and washed greens

How to Make It
-
Make the Vinaigrette
- Combine the oil, yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and chile flakes in a small jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake! Taste it, add more salt if necessary, and shake it again. Set aside until ready to use or store in the fridge for up to 5 days. Put it together and Serve
- In a large bowl, combine the greens, radishes, crackers, mint, salt, and pepper. Toss with half of the vinaigrette and give it a taste. Add more vinaigrette if the salad seems dry or serve the rest of the vinaigrette on the side.
