Directions

1. Drain chicken livers and pat dry. In a medium frying pan mix cream, mustard, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until cream is reduced by about a third. Mix in livers, stirring gently to coat with cream. Reduce heat to medium and cook, turning carefully occasionally, until liquid is reduced to a glaze that clings to livers.

Remove from heat and let stand until livers are barely warm.

2. In a large bowl combine greens. Mix lightly with dressing. Divide greens among 4 salad plates. Sprinkle each serving with a fourth of the egg and a fourth of the walnuts.

3. Cut chicken livers into ¼ inch slices; arrange overlapping slices beside each serving of salad. Serve at once.

Walnut Oil Dressing: In a medium bowl mix vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper. Using a whisk or fork, gradually beat in oil until dressing is slightly thickened and well combined.
