Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the lettuce thoroughly and dry using a salad spinner or by patting it with clean kitchen towels. Tear or chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large salad bowl.
- Wash the chives, then finely chop or snip them into small pieces. Add the chives to the bowl with lettuce.
- In a small mixing bowl or a jar with a lid, combine the mustard and vinegar. Whisk or shake well until the mustard is fully dissolved.
- Gradually add the olive oil to the mustard-vinegar mixture while whisking continuously to create an emulsified vinaigrette. If using a jar, you can add the olive oil all at once and shake vigorously until combined.
- Season the vinaigrette with salt and pepper to taste, and whisk or shake again to ensure even distribution.
- Just before serving, pour the mustard vinaigrette over the salad greens. Toss the lettuce and chives gently to ensure the dressing coats the greens evenly.
- Transfer the dressed salad to individual plates or a serving bowl.
- Serve immediately, while the lettuce is crisp and the flavors are fresh.
Tips:
- Make sure to thoroughly wash and dry the lettuce before using to ensure crispness.
- For a creamier vinaigrette, add a teaspoon of honey or mayonnaise.
- Feel free to customize the salad with additional ingredients like cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, or avocados.
- You can use different types of lettuce or greens, such as mixed greens, arugula, or spinach, to vary the texture and flavor.
- For a more intense flavor, let the prepared vinaigrette sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before tossing it with the salad.
This green salad with mustard vinaigrette is not only simple to make but also packed with flavor.
