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).

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 pound sugar snap peas, trimmed, strings removed
5 ounces (6 cups) mixed salad greens
5 scallions, thinly sliced diagonally
2 small zucchini, thinly sliced into ribbons with a vegetable peeler
1/3 cup fresh basil, large leaves torn
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon rice vinegar (not seasoned)
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon honey
Coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare an ice-water bath. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add sugar snap peas, and cook until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain, and transfer to ice-water bath. Drain again.
  • Toss peas, greens, scallions, zucchini, and basil in a large bowl. Whisk together vinegar, oil, lemon juice, ginger, honey, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Drizzle dressing over salad, and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Toss to coat, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the taste of your salad. Look for crisp, brightly colored vegetables and herbs, and ripe, flavorful fruits.
  • Wash your produce thoroughly: This will remove any dirt, bacteria, or pesticides from your ingredients.
  • Dry your produce thoroughly: This will help prevent your salad from getting watery.
  • Use a variety of textures and flavors: Incorporate a mix of crunchy, soft, sweet, salty, and sour ingredients to create a well-balanced salad.
  • Don't overdress your salad: A little dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing can overwhelm the other flavors in your salad.
  • Let your salad rest for a few minutes before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together.
