Ingredients
- 5-6 ounces mixture of spinach, butter lettuce or spring mix (use any lettuce that you like)
- 1-2 Roma tomatoes, quartered
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
My Favorite Vinaigrette
- ¼ cup vinegar - I use either champagne or balsamic
- ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- 2 teaspoons honey
- ¾ cup olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
Instructions
- Rinse and dry lettuce. Add, along with the tomatoes and onions to a large bowl. Sprinkle with Kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper
My Favorite Vinaigrette
- In a medium bowl, or to a small jar with a lid, add vinegar, salt, mustard, honey and garlic and let sit for 5 minutes. Whisk ingredients together until blended.
- Slowly add the oil in a stream while whisking until an emulsion forms - the color of the vinaigrette will change to a golden yellow. If using a jar, add the oil, place the lid on and shake. Taste and adjust the seasoning, including the oil and vinegar.
- Lightly drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss. Taste and add more dressing if desired.
