Vintners salad, also known as Salade Vigneronne or Lyonnaise salad, is a classic French dish that combines fresh, seasonal vegetables with a tangy red wine vinaigrette. It is often served as a starter or side dish, and is a refreshing and flavorful way to enjoy the bounty of the summer harvest. The salad is typically made with a variety of vegetables, such as lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, and green beans, as well as hard-boiled eggs and sometimes croutons. The dressing is made with red wine vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, and shallots, and is often seasoned with fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, and tarragon.

VINTNER'S SALAD

I first served this salad at a dinner party way back in 1979. It's elegant enough for a dinner party and it goes together quickly. The dressing can be made ahead as well as the salad. Add the walnuts and grated Gruyere cheese just before serving, toss with dressing and serve. Originally from an April 1979 Bon Appetit magazine.
