Cafe Green Salad by Melissa D'arabian image

I am really happy she won the Next Food Network Star challenge and really look forward to watching more of her show " Ten Dollar Dinners with Melissa d'Arabian". This is a great recipe that is easy to toss together yet really fresh tasting. Why use bottled dressing when you can do this?

Time 5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 garlic clove, sliced in 1/2
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 dash soy sauce
salt & freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups salad greens (mixed, the darker the better, not iceberg)

Steps:

  • Rub the inside of a large wooden bowl with the garlic clove and then either discard it or save it for another use.
  • Put the mustard in the bowl and whisk in the balsamic vinegar and soy sauce (a French secret!) vigorously for about 10 seconds to get a creamy consistency.
  • Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Drizzle in the olive oil as slowly as possible with 1 hand while whisking as quickly as possible with the other hand to emulsify.
  • Lay the salad greens on top of the dressing and toss just before serving.
