Bitter Green Salad w Lemon Mustard Dressing

This recipe, adapted from the Los Angeles restaurant Mozza, dresses mixed frisée lightly, with a simple dressing of two kinds of mustard, lemon juice and olive oil. It’s done in minutes, and serves as a light, tart side for pretty much any occasion, whether a holiday feast or a weeknight meal.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 ½ teaspoons whole-grain mustard
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 3 to 6 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  •  Salt
  •  black pepper
  • 14 ounces mixed frisée, radicchio and dandelion greens, washed, dried and torn into pieces

PREPARATION

  1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the mustards and 3 tablespoons of the lemon juice.
  2. While whisking vigorously, drizzle in the olive oil until thickened. Adjust lemon juice to taste, and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Place greens in a serving bowl and toss with just enough dressing to lightly coat them. Reserve any remaining dressing for another use.
