Provided by Faux Chef Lael

Categories     Vegetable

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 English cucumber, unpeeled, seeded, and sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 red bell pepper, large-diced
1 yellow bell pepper, large-diced
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved (or grape tomatoes)
1/2 red onion, sliced in half-rounds
1/2 lb feta cheese, 1/2-inch diced (not crumbled)
1/2 cup kalamata olive, pitted
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup good red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt (NOT table salt or sea salt)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Place the cucumber, peppers, tomatoes and red onion in a large bowl.
  • For the vinaigrette, whisk together the garlic, oregano, mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Still whisking, slowly add the olive oil to make an emulsion.
  • Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables.
  • Add the feta and olives and toss lightly.
  • Set aside for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Serve at room temperature.
  • Tips from me:
  • To reduce the sharpness of the onion, soak the sliced onion in ice cold water for 30 minutes and pat with paper towels to dry, before adding to salad.
  • To cut down on prep time, place a single layer of cherry/grape tomatoes between two Tupperware lids (or flat plates, etc.) and slice through all of them at once, using a sharp knife.

GREEN SALAD WITH BASIC VINAIGRETTE



Green Salad with Basic Vinaigrette image

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).

Basic Vinaigrette for Green Salads image

This is a good vinaigrette for a simple green salad. Use extra-virgin olive oil if you prefer a fruitier flavor.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Gluten-Free Recipes

Yield Makes 2/3 cup

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons good-quality white-wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 small shallot, finely chopped
1 teaspoon coarse salt, plus more for seasoning
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, plus more for seasoning
6 tablespoons good-quality olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine the vinegar, mustard, shallot, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Allow the ingredients to macerate for 10 minutes.
  • While whisking, slowly add the olive oil until the mixture is emulsified. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of vinegar: For a classic vinaigrette, use a mild vinegar such as white wine vinegar or champagne vinegar. For a more flavorful vinaigrette, try using a stronger vinegar such as red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar.
  • Add a little Dijon mustard: Dijon mustard helps to emulsify the vinaigrette and adds a touch of tanginess.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, or basil can add a lot of flavor to your vinaigrette.
  • Add a pinch of salt and pepper: Salt and pepper are essential for seasoning your vinaigrette.
  • Whisk the vinaigrette thoroughly: Whisking the vinaigrette thoroughly helps to emulsify it and create a smooth, creamy dressing.
  • Let the vinaigrette rest for a few minutes before using: This allows the flavors to meld together and develop.

Conclusion:

A simple vinaigrette is a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and flavorful vinaigrette that will enhance the flavors of your favorite salad.
