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.

    This salad dressing is fantastic. I tossed baby mixed greens into it and we enjoyed it very much. I will definitely be using this recipe for a "go to". It would be great with gorgonzola, thin sliced apples, cranberries and pecans too!

    FANTASTIC!!! #1 go to for salads. First time I made this, used greens and red bell peppers. Second time, used greens, bell peppers, and added artichoke. It just keeps getting better and better.
