1large handful (about 1 ounce)herb salad mixor to taste
Baby radishes, mâche, and chive or rocket flowersto taste
Snipped fresh chivesfor garnish
2tablespoonsslivered almondslightly toasted
CITRUS-VIN DRESSINGmakes 1 cup
1/4cupeach fresh orange, lemon, and grapefruit juice
1tablespoonDijon mustard
1/4cupchampagne vinegar
1smallshallot,minced, 2-3 teaspoons
1/2cupextra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
Combine juices in a nonreactive pan and simmer over medium heat until reduced to about 1/4 cup. Pour into a bowl to cool briefly. Add mustard, vinegar, and shallots. Whisk together and let the shallots and acids get to know each other. After 5 minutes, whisk in olive oil and season with salt and pepper. This can keep for a week or two in your fridge. (I like to make the dressing in a mustard jar that’s almost empty. Shake it vigorously to re-emulsify.)
Put arugula in a big bowl. Add any tender herbs and lettuces you like. Toss a bit of dressing (about 2 tablespoons) with the greens; go easy, this salad is about the symbiosis between the lettuces and herbs, not the dressing. Season with salt and pepper. Finish salad with chives and lightly toasted slivered almonds.
