Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | cups | Mesclun greens |
| 1 | Garlic clove | |

Directions
Just as the ingredients in your salads will change with the seasons, your dressing should vary according to the greens. Milder greens such as mache are best with a light coating of good olive oil and lemon or vinegar. The best dressing is one that highlights the greens, not itself. You may want to add a tablespoon of plain yogurt to a basic vinaigrette, this will tame the sharper greens.
DIRECTIONS:
1.) Rub salad bowl with garlic. 2.) Mix shallots, mustard, vinegar in bowl.
3.) Pour in olive oil, whisking until blended. Add mesclun leaves and toss.
