Baby greens, often referred to as microgreens or salad greens, are young, tender greens that have gained popularity in recent years due to their delicate texture, unique flavors, and high nutritional content. These miniature leaves, harvested when seedlings are just a few weeks old, boast an array of colors, shapes, and textures, adding visual appeal and a burst of flavor to any dish. Whether served as a refreshing salad, incorporated into sandwiches or wraps, or used as a garnish, baby greens offer a versatile and delicious addition to your culinary repertoire. One classic preparation that showcases the delicate nature of baby greens is the baby greens with mustard vinaigrette. This simple yet elegant dish combines the subtle flavors of the greens with a tangy and aromatic mustard vinaigrette, creating a harmonious balance of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds.

- Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat until smoking. Saute the mushrooms just to soften, about 1 minute. Add the garlic and saute briefly until the aroma is released. Remove from the heat. Stir in the parsley, lemon juice, salt and pepper and set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, lightly toss the baby greens with about half of the Almond Vinaigrette. Divide into 6 portions and place on serving plates. Divide the mushrooms and sprinkle across the top.
- In the same bowl, toss the blanched asparagus with the remaining vinaigrette. Divide among the salads, fanning the spears across the top.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread the almonds on a baking sheet and bake until slightly golden, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- When the almonds are cool, transfer to a blender along with the remaining ingredients. Puree until smooth. Store in a container in the refrigerator up to 5 days.
