You will need:
- 120 g washed and dried mix green salad leaves
- 4 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 shallot minced
- 60 ml olive oil
- salt and pepper
- 4 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 40 ml olive oil
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- white pepper
- 40 ml balsamic vinegar
- ½ tbsp whole grain mustard
- 1 tbsp honey
- 80 ml olive oil
- salt and pepper
Step 1:
Place into a bowl the red wine vinegar, the shallots, the Dijon mustard, the olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Now thoroughly combine with a spoon and set aside.
TIP:
It is always good to let a vinaigrette sit for a while before dressing a salad, perhaps for 10 - 15 minutes. This helps to blend the flavours.
Step 2:
First, add the soy sauce to a bowl. Now add the lemon, the sugar, the olive oil, the sesame oil, and the white pepper. Mix together thoroughly and set aside.
Step 3:
Into a bowl, mix the balsamic vinegar, the whole-grain mustard, the honey, the olive oil, the salt, and the black pepper. Mix together and let it stand.
And here are the three vinaigrette dressings together: the red wine vinaigrette, the soy vinaigrette, and the balsamic vinaigrette.
All have different flavours but all also go extremely well with green salads.
Step 4:
Mix the green salad with vinaigrette.
TIP:
For any leafy salad, the leaves that you use must be fresh, well-washed, and dried properly or the resulting salad with be limp and lack crispness.
Place the salad greens in a large bowl. Choose any of the three vinaigrettes and spoon just enough dressing onto the leaves to compliment but not enough to drown the taste of the greens. Now use your hands to gently mix the greens.
TIP:
Always add the dressing immediately before serving any salad. The dressing breaks down the greens, making them limp and lifeless. Adding the dressing as late as possible makes the salad fresh, crisp and flavoursome.
Step 5:
In an individual salad bowl, gently pile the dressed salad in a high mound. Piling it high gives the salad a more impressive visual effect. Your green salad is now ready to serve!
