Mâche is sold in different ways - sometimes it comes in a package with soil plugs attached and sometimes you can find it loose, like mesclun. If you're buying it with plugs attached, you'll need 1 1/2 pounds; if you're buying it loose, you'll need 5 ounces.

This tasty vinaigrette comes from the Cookin' Cajun Cooking School in New Orleans. We love it, especially made with Steen's Louisiana Cane Vinegar. Serve it over salad greens, chopped purple cabbage and chopped golden peppers for a "mardi gras" salad.

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 10m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 tablespoons creole mustard (or any grainy mustard)
2 tablespoons cane vinegar (or cider vinegar in a pinch)
3/4 cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together mustard and vinegar.
  • Pour oil into mustard/vinegar mixture in a steady stream; whisking, until it is emulsified.
  • Serve over simple salad greens and/or your choice of chopped raw vegetables.
  • Refrigerate leftover dressing for up to one week.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality olive oil. The olive oil is the base of the vinaigrette, so it's important to use a good quality oil that has a nice flavor.
  • Use fresh lemon juice. Fresh lemon juice will give your vinaigrette a bright, citrusy flavor. Avoid using bottled lemon juice, as it can be bitter and harsh.
  • Add a touch of sweetness. A little bit of sweetness can help to balance out the acidity of the vinegar. You can add sweetness with sugar, honey, or maple syrup.
  • Season to taste. Once you've added all of the ingredients to your vinaigrette, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
  • Use a whisk to emulsify the vinaigrette. Whisking the vinaigrette will help to combine the oil and vinegar and create a smooth, creamy emulsion.
  • Let the vinaigrette rest for a few minutes before using. This will allow the flavors to meld and mellow.

Conclusion:

Creole vinaigrette is a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads, vegetables, and meats. It's a simple dressing to make, and it's a great way to add flavor and zest to your meals. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make dressing, give Creole vinaigrette a try.
