MIXED GREEN SALAD WITH TARRAGON VINAIGRETTE RECIPE:



Mixed Green Salad with Tarragon Vinaigrette Recipe: image

Provided by What's Cooking America

Categories     Salad

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 teaspoon Sherry Vinegar
1 tablespoon shallot, (minced)
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil, (extra-virgin)
2 teaspoons fresh tarragon, (finely chopped)
1/2 pound frisee ((French curly endive), torn into bite-size pieces)
1 head (1 pound) Boston lettuce, (torn into bite-size pieces)
1 bunch (1/2 pound) arugula, (coarse stems discarded)
1 bunch (1/2 pound) watercress, (coarse stems discarded)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, shallot, mustard, salt, and pepper. Then add the olive oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified. Whisk in tarragon.
  • In a large salad bowl, toss the frisee, Boston lettuce, arugula, and watercress and then season with salt and pepper.
  • NOTE: Greens can be washed, trimmed, and torn one (1) day ahead and chilled in a sealed plastic bag lined with paper towels.
  • DO NOT OVERDRESS YOUR SALADS - Too much salad dressing will weight down the salad ingredients and mask their flavors. The dressing's role is to highlight not to overpower the salad ingredients. A general rule is 1/4 cup of dressing for 6 cups of greens. As soon as your salad is mixed, taste a leaf to see if there is sufficient dressing. If not, drizzle some more over the salad, a tablespoon at a time; toss and taste again.
