To prepare the dressing, mince garlic on a cutting board and sprinkle heavily with salt.

Use a knife to scrape garlic and salt together to form a smooth paste.

Transfer paste to a medium bowl and whisk in oil, lemon juice, mustard, shallot, salt and pepper.

Set aside.

To prepare the salad, arrange all ingredients in separate rows on a large serving platter.

Drizzle dressing over all ingredients.
