MESCLUN SALAD WITH BANON CHEESE



Mesclun Salad with Banon Cheese image

Traditionally made from cow's or goat's milk and wrapped in chestnut leaves, Banon cheese is named after the town in northern Provence from which it hails. When the leaves are green, the cheese is fresh, mild, and sweet; when the leaves are brown, it is ripe and soft. Either way, it's a great complement to classic mesclun greens. In the spirit of Provence, we encourage you to bypass the ready-made mesclun mix and create your own blend of peppery, sweet, and tender baby lettuces from the array that you can find at the farmers market.

Time 15m

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
3/4 lb loosely packed mixed baby lettuces such as lolla rossa, oak-leaf, or Bibb (16 cups)
3 individual Banon cheeses (9 ounces total) or soft goat cheese, at room temperature
Accompaniment: fougasse or baguette

Steps:

  • Whisk together vinegar, salt, and pepper in a bowl until salt is dissolved, then add oil, whisking until emulsified.
  • Just before serving, toss lettuces with just enough vinaigrette to coat, then divide among plates. Halve cheeses and serve 1 half with each salad.

Tips:

  • Choose tender, young greens: Look for vibrant colors and avoid any leaves that are wilted or bruised.

  • Toss the salad gently: Use tongs or your hands to combine the greens and dressing, being careful not to bruise the leaves.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Mesclun is best enjoyed fresh, so serve it as soon as it is dressed.
