Green Salad with Herbs

Ingredients

• Dressing:
• 3 tablespoons minced shallot (from 1 medium shallot)
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• Pinch of sugar
• Salt and pepper
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• Salad:
• 8 cups mixed greens such as arugula and baby lettuce
• 2 Belgian endives, chopped
• 1 cup herbs such as basil, chervil, chives, mint, parsley and tarragon, all coarsely chopped

Preparation

1. 1. Make dressing: In a medium bowl (or jar with a screw-top lid) combine shallot, mustard, vinegar, sugar and a pinch each of salt and pepper; mix (or shake) to combine. Slowly whisk in olive oil until dressing is emulsified (or add all at once and shake to combine).
2. 2. Make salad: Place greens, endives and herbs in a large bowl and drizzle with about half of dressing. Using your hands, gently toss. Taste and, if desired, add remaining dressing and season with additional salt and pepper.
