FEEDS: 2

• 1 clove fresh garlic, cut in half
• Olive oil

• Salt and pepper
• ½ t. Dijon mustard
• ¼ t. honey
• Diced tomato
• Diced cucumber

LET'S COOK

To make a very nice salad for 2, begin by vigorously rubbing the inside of your salad bowl with the open cut of fresh garlic. Save the garlic for another use.

Using your salad spoon as a measure, fill it once with the olive oil and pour it into the bowl. Now fill the spoon half way with the red wine vinegar. Add some salt and pepper to the bowl as well as the mustard and the honey.

Use your salad fork to whip the ingredients together and emulsify the dressing.

Now add the tomatoes, cucumbers and scallions. Be sure to cut them all into edible size pieces, it makes it easier to eat. No one wants to carve a salad.

Mix the items well to coat them with the dressing. Add the greens, toss gently to coat them and finally, sprinkle it all with about a tablespoon of the grated cheese.

You’ll forget about bottled dressing now.

MORE IDEAS:

Once you’ve created the dressing, consider any combination of fresh vegetables you might enjoy in your salad.
