Each serving is 1 ½ servings from the vegetable group and 1 tbsp from the fats group.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup sunflower oil or other neutral salad oil or light olive oil
24 ounces salad greens
Directions:
Combine all ingredients except the oil and the greens in a 2 cup jar and shake to blend. Add the oil and shake again to mix ingredients together. Shake well just before serving on clean, dried greens.
*Tips*
If your vinegar is very acidic, you may need to add a small amount of sugar and a tablespoon or so of water.
Plan on using about 3 ounces of cold, dry greens per person for a side salad.
Add leaves of fresh herbs such as tarragon, parsley, oregano cilantro or dill to the greens mix for interesting flavor variations. A little fresh herb goes a long way.
