Lemon juice combines with mild rice vinegar in a dressing that's both sprightly and slightly sweet to dress young, tender lettuces.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 shallot, finely chopped

  • 1 ½ teaspoons honey

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

  • 16 cups arugula

Directions

  1. Combine shallot, honey, mustard, and salt in a jar with a lid; add olive oil, lemon juice, and vinegar. Cover jar with lid and shake until dressing is thickened.

  2. Place arugula in a bowl and drizzle dressing over greens; toss to coat.

Cook's Note:

You can make a larger batch of dressing by simply doubling or tripling the amounts and store it in the fridge for a week or two. This dressing can also do double duty as a marinade for chicken or thick, firm-fleshed fish.

Any variety of spring lettuce such as Bibb or red leaf can replace the arugula.
