Mesclun salad dressing

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
3 cups Mesclun greens
1 Garlic clove
1 Shallot; chopped
2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ cup Olive oil

Directions

Just as the ingredients in your salads will change with the seasons, your dressing should vary according to the greens. Milder greens such as mache are best with a light coating of good olive oil and lemon or vinegar. The best dressing is one that highlights the greens, not itself. You may want to add a tablespoon of plain yogurt to a basic vinaigrette, this will tame the sharper greens.

DIRECTIONS:

1.) Rub salad bowl with garlic. 2.) Mix shallots, mustard, vinegar in bowl.

3.) Pour in olive oil, whisking until blended. Add mesclun leaves and toss.
