Recipe

Herbed Vinaigrette
Homegrown salad greens deserve a great dressing, and this herbed vinaigrette is a classic.

Rub inside of a wooden salad bowl by pressing 1 clove smashed garlic with a pinch of salt. Mince the garlic and add to bowl. Measure in 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil with 2 tbsp herb infused or sherry vinegar, 1 tsp Dijon style mustard, 1 tsp maple syrup and 1 tsp each fresh chopped parsley and chives. Whisk until well blended. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Toss with 4 cups of Cook's Mild Mix mesclun salad greens.

Description

This combination of mellow flavored, heat-tolerant greens will provide a range of rare greens for salad making right through the hot weather. The harvest varies from one cutting to the next, as some of the greens are quicker growing than others. Early growth is dominated by Kyona Mizuna. As it is cut, succulent broadleaf golden purslane, colorful red orach, feathery, anise-flavored Brussels chervil, juicy claytonia and tender, nutty m?che begin to take their place in the mixture. Keep this mesclun cut and watered, and you will be rewarded with a long harvest of special greens.
