I learned to make this salad thirty years ago from my mother-in-law, who was born and raised in Paris. This is the best salad/dressing I've ever tasted and is always requested by friends and family. Ingredients:
1 large bunch of variety leaf lettuce |
3 shallots (minced) |
3 garlic cloves (minced, or 1/2 tsp garlic powder) |
3 tablespoons tarragon vinegar |
4 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1 teaspoon salt |
pepper (to taste) |
Directions:
1. Rinse and spin-dry lettuce, set aside.
2. In large bowl, mix remaining ingredients. Add lettuce on top and place in refrigerator.
3. Toss well before serving and top with croutons and/or cheese sprinkles, if desired.
4. A few tips: You may want to add more or less salt, depending on how much lettuce you are using.
5. You can also use 1/4 chopped onion in place of the shallots - shallots have a milder, sweeter taste that truly compliments the dressing but vidalia or purple onion would be a good substitute.
6. You can also add radishes, chopped kale, and raw spinach greens to the lettuce before tossing.
