Simple Green Salad Vinaigrette
A green salad is only as good as its vinaigrette, and this one leans entirely on EVOSÌ. Whisked with lemon and a little Dijon, its delicate citrus character comes through clearly over tender lettuces, nothing else needed.
Ingredients
- 6 cups mixed tender lettuces
- 1/4 cup EVOSÌ
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 small shallot, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl or jar, whisk together EVOSÌ, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and minced shallot until the mixture emulsifies and thickens slightly.
- Season the vinaigrette with salt and pepper, tasting and adjusting the balance of acid to oil as needed.
- Place the mixed lettuces in a large bowl.
- Drizzle in just enough vinaigrette to lightly coat the leaves, you likely won't need all of it, and toss gently with your hands or salad tongs.
- Serve immediately, before the leaves have a chance to wilt.
