Because mustard greens are on the cusp of chewy, it's a good idea to let the salad stand for a few minutes once you've tossed everything together. This will give the leaves a chance to soften.

Time 30m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup olive oil
7 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
1 large head green garlic (outer layer, stalk and root end removed) or substitute 3 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 ounces crusty day-old bread in 3/4-inch cubes (about 2 cups)
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt, more to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 large eggs
2 large or 3 small heads romaine lettuce, separated into leaves and torn into pieces, if desired (about 10 cups)
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Make croutons: Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add half the anchovies and cook, stirring, until they melt into oil, about 2 minutes. Stir in half the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about one minute. Add bread cubes, salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toast, tossing frequently, until croutons are golden and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Make dressing: In medium bowl, whisk together remaining garlic and anchovies, plus lemon juice, mustard, Worcestershire and remaining pepper. Slowly whisk in remaining olive oil.
  • Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Lower eggs into pan. For nearly raw eggs cook for 90 seconds; for soft boiled, cook for 4 minutes. Rinse eggs under cold water until cool enough to handle.
  • Combine lettuce, cheese and croutons in a large bowl. Add vinaigrette and toss well. Crack eggs into salad, scooping out any whites clinging to shell and toss once more. Add salt to taste.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender mustard greens: Look for leaves that are deep green and crisp, with no signs of wilting or yellowing.
  • Wash the mustard greens thoroughly: To remove any dirt or grit, rinse the greens under cold water several times.
  • Dry the mustard greens well: Use a salad spinner or pat the greens dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess water.
  • Massage the mustard greens: This will help to soften the leaves and make them more palatable. To massage the greens, simply rub them gently with your hands for a few minutes.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the mustard greens: This will help to prevent the leaves from tearing.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way with mustard greens. Too much dressing can overwhelm the delicate flavor of the greens.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Mustard greens are best enjoyed fresh. If you need to make the salad ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
