This recipe came from the Davidson Estate in Wylie, Texas. I obtained this and several hundred recipes when I purchased the collection at an estate sale in 1991. Enjoy. Ingredients:
1/2 pound mixed winter lettuces |
12 sprigs fresh chervil |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 pound green beans trimmed |
1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts |
radishes for garnish |
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
1-1/2 teaspoons spicy mustard |
1 small garlic clove minced or pressed |
1/4 teaspoon dried tarragon |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
6 tablespoons olive oil |
3 tablespoons walnut oil |
Directions:
1. Wash dry and toss together the lettuces, chervil and chives. Stir together the vinegar, mustard, garlic, tarragon, salt and freshly ground pepper then whisk in the oils and mix well. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and blanch the beans for 2 minutes. Drain beans and rinse briefly with cold water then place in a bowl. Just before serving toss the lettuce mixture with 1/3 of the dressing. Heat the remaining dressing in a saucepan and add the nuts. Stir together and when the nuts are heated through toss with the green beans. Place the dressed greens on individual plates and top with warmed dressed beans and walnuts. Garnish with radishes and serve at once.
