Mesclun salad, a delectable blend of tender baby greens, is a refreshing and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a light lunch, a flavorful side salad, or even as an elegant starter. Its delicate leaves, often a mix of lettuces, arugula, mache, and other tender greens, provide a delightful textural contrast to the tangy lemon vinaigrette, a dressing that brightens the salad with its citrusy flavor. The perfect mesclun salad strikes a balance between the subtle bitterness of the greens and the acidity of the vinaigrette, resulting in a harmonious and invigorating dish.

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons butter
1 dash cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup halved pecans
1 red bell pepper
2 oranges
1 tablespoon olive oil
Fresh pepper
2 cups mesclun greens

Steps:

  • In a small saute pan add 2 tablespoons whole butter, dash of cayenne, 3 tablespoons sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the 1/2 cup of pecans. Cook this slowly over a very low flame, taking care to stir carefully and occasionally. The sugar will burn easily if the flame is too hot. On a stable cutting board, julienne the red pepper and then peel and section the 2 oranges. Squeeze the remaining orange pulp over a large bowl and to this add the 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss the salad greens in this and then place on a salad plate. Arrange the oranges and red bell pepper slices on the top and garnish with the caramelized pecan halves. Allow the pecans to cool before eating.
