Yield Serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 11

For the dressing:
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
For the salad:
8 cups small whole leaves of romaine, little gems, or iceberg lettuce (or, for the bitter tolerant/enthusiast, escarole, radicchio or frisée), washed and spun dry
6 red radishes (or 2 peeled watermelon radishes), rinsed and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • For the dressing:
  • In a medium saucepan, bring a few inches of water to a boil. Using a slotted spoon, gently lower in the eggs and cook for 9 minutes (or 8 minutes if you like the yolk a little softer). While the eggs cook, set up a bowl of ice water in the sink; transfer the just boiled eggs to the ice bath.
  • Allow the eggs to cool in ice water, then peel them and separate the yolks from the whites. Reserve the whites for another use and push the yolks through a a sieve or a "spider" spatula into a medium mixing bowl. Add the mustard, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper; stir until smooth. Gradually whisk in the oil, creating a creamy, mayo-like emulsion with a bit more texture. Season and add additional lemon juice to taste.
  • For the salad:
  • Put the lettuces and radishes in a salad bowl and spoon over most of the dressing. Season with a sprinkle of salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Gently but thoroughly toss the salad with your hands to coat the leaves well. Taste a leaf and add more dressing, lemon, salt, or pepper as needed. Serve immediately.

CREAMY MUSTARD VINAIGRETTE BY INA GARTEN (BAREFOOT CONTESSA)



Creamy Mustard Vinaigrette by Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa) image

This is my favorite dressing now! It was recommended to me by my boss, and it's so fresh and yummy and so easy to make! I hope you like it too! Note: The original recipe calls for 1 extra-large egg yolk, but I don't care for raw eggs, so I leave it out, which the recipe says is fine to do. I just added it as an option.

GREEN SALAD WITH BASIC VINAIGRETTE



Green Salad with Basic Vinaigrette image

This Green Salad with Basic Vinaigrette is the perfect side dish to any meal.

Provided by Martha Stewart

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).

SALMON SALAD NIçOISE



Salmon Salad Niçoise image

There are a lot of steps in this salad, but it is worth every one, in my book! This is not a side, it's a main dish for 2. Salmon is subbed for traditional tuna here. Green beans, potatoes, and some normal salad items are all combined with the salmon to make a beautiful, satisfying plate. Bonus, there is no added sugar in the light and lovely vinaigrette.

Provided by Bibi

Categories     Salmon Salad

Time 1h

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
½ clove garlic, minced
½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ pound small red potatoes, cubed
½ (10 ounce) bag haricot verts or tender young green beans
½ medium green bell pepper, cut into thin strips
7 leaves Bibb lettuce
8 pitted Kalamata olives, halved lengthwise
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
salt to taste
5 ounces cooked salmon, flaked
1 large hard-boiled egg

Steps:

  • Combine sherry vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice in a small bowl; stir briskly until vinaigrette is well combined.
  • Add olive oil, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking briskly after each addition. Season with salt and pepper and whisk until well combined; set aside.
  • Bring a pan of lightly salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add potatoes to boiling water and cook for 10 minutes, making sure the water level is above the potatoes. Add green beans and boil until beans are bright-green and tender crisp, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Sieve out green beans and place in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and place in a large bowl.
  • Test potatoes for doneness by slightly piercing a potato with a sharp knife. If done, the knife should slip in with only a slight resistance. Drain potatoes, cool slightly, slice in half, and add to the bowl. Add bell pepper and drizzle vinaigrette over salad. Toss until well combined.
  • Line a serving plate with lettuce leaves and arrange potatoes, green beans, and pepper strips on top. Evenly place olive halves around the salad.
  • Lightly toss the sliced cherry tomatoes with olive oil and salt, and place around the plate.
  • Place salmon flakes on top of salad. Slice egg in half, and place one half of the egg on each side of the plate. Serve.
