- Ingredients:
- 7
- Yields:
-
1 salad
- Serves:
- 4
ingredients
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 small splash soy sauce
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cups dark mixed salad greens
directions
- 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.

Absolutely loved the dressing, which is what this recipe is all about! I did cut the olive oil to 2 tbsp, because I like my dressings with extra bite from the vinegar. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Even though I am still young (25) Life experince has aged me alot.
I learned to cook at both of my grandmother's knees (One southern American, one southern Irish) when I was about five. By ten I started collecting cookbooks and experinmenting on my own.
As a latch key kid I cooked for my four younger brothers and sisters.
My mom ran a small deli before she died when I was 17 so alot of my recies debuted there.
Now I run my own catering Buisness.
I am married to a wnderful man for five years now. I am a six year old daughter, sons who are four and three.
We are also raising my 14 year old sister and nine Year old stepsister and have a 16 year old foster daughter, all of which love cooking with me.
I am writing a cookbook with the hopes that when I pass I can leave my recipes for them
My cookbook collection has now reached over 1200.
Thank you for trying and reviewing my recipes..
