Ingredients

Mustard Vinaigrette:

  • 1 garlic clove, sliced in 1/2
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • Small splash soy sauce
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

3 cups mixed greens, the darker the better (not iceberg)

Rub the inside of a large wooden bowl with the garlic clove and then either discard it or save it for another use. Put the mustard in the bowl and whisk in the balsamic vinegar and soy sauce (a French secret!) vigorously for about 10 seconds to get a creamy consistency. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Drizzle in the olive oil as slowly as possible with 1 hand while whisking as quickly as possible with the other hand to emulsify. Lay the salad greens on top of the dressing and toss just before serving.

    It's great!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This easy and wonderful recipe inspired me to make several other dressings as well. I have made this one several times and I... love it on spring greens with sunflower seeds and a sliced hard boiled egg. Read more

    I had to start making it in batches!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    We have had this salad every day for the past 3 days. The soy sauce really does give it the umami flavor. Just for kicks I... added a little bit of bacon drippings and made a warm dressing with this recipe as a base - also very good.Read more
