Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup vinegar, or fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon sugar, (optional)
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 mixed greens, such as radicchio, chicory, endive, red leaf, and Boston lettuce

Steps:

  • Clean lettuces by swishing them through a large bowl or sink filled with cool water. After you swish the greens, they will rise to the surface; the sand and sediment will fall to the bottom of the bowl or sink. Once the sand and sediment are washed away, lift greens from water and transfer to a salad spinner; spin until dry.
  • Tear lettuces into bite-sized pieces. If you aren't going to use the greens immediately, wrap them in a clean kitchen towel, transfer to a plastic bag, and refrigerate.
  • Next, make the vinaigrette. Combine vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper, and sugar if using, in a small jar; shake to blend. Add oil, and shake again until emulsified.
  • For best results, use four parts greens to one part dressing and three parts oil to one part acid (vinegar, citrus juice, or a combination of both).
