Best 2 Black Truffle Salad Recipes

WARM PORCINI SALAD WITH MESCLUN AND BLACK-TRUFFLE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• To make the vinaigrette, whisk together the vinegars, mustard and truffle juice in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the truffle oil. (You should obtain an emulsified vinaigrette thick enough to coat the back of a spoon; if too thick, whisk in more truffle juice or water.) Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• To make the salad, clean dirt from the mushrooms and, depending on their size, either slice them or cut into julienne. Set aside.
• In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and cook until it just begins to turn brown. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, only until thoroughly warm and slightly tender. Add the shallots and remove from heat. Transfer the mushrooms to a mixing bowl and toss with half the vinaigrette and half the chives. Season with salt and pepper.
• In another bowl, toss the greens with the remaining vinaigrette and chives. Divide among 4 plates and top with mushrooms. Serve immediately.

BLACK TRUFFLE SALAD

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil, cover the pan, reduce the heat to low and boil the potatoes gently for about 15 to 18 minutes, until tender. Drain the potatoes and set them aside until cool enough to handle, then peel them and cut them into 1/2-inch slices.
• In a small bowl, make the dressing by combining the garlic, walnut oil, peanut oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. Place the lettuce in a large bowl and toss it with 2 to 3 tablespoons of the dressing. Divide the lettuce among 6 plates.
• Toss the remainder of the dressing with the lukewarm potato slices and divide the potatoes among the six plates, mounding them in the center of the lettuce. Using a vegetable peeler or truffle slicer, shave the truffles on top of the potatoes, covering the entire surface. Sprinkle any remaining dressing over the truffles and serve immediately.
