    How to Make Champagne Dijon Vinaigrette-Dressed Greens

    1. Prepare the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together the champagne vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and egg yolk if you’re using it. Add 0.5 teaspoons of kosher salt and 0.125 teaspoons of freshly ground black pepper. Whisk until well combined.

    2. Emulsify the Vinaigrette

    Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking until the vinaigrette thickens and looks homogenous.

    3. Dress the Greens

    Place the baby arugula or mesclun mix into a large serving bowl. Right before serving, pour the prepared vinaigrette over the greens and toss gently but thoroughly using tongs or salad utensils.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Choose High-Quality Ingredients

    Select top-notch Champagne vinegar and Dijon mustard to ensure the best flavor for your vinaigrette.

    Timing is Everything

    Dress the salad right before serving to keep the greens fresh and textured.

    Emulsification is Key

    Whisk the vinegar and mustard, then gradually add oil to create a stable, creamy emulsion.

    Freshness Matters

    Use fresh, crisp salad greens and ensure they are washed and dried for the best texture and vinaigrette adherence.

    Dress to Impress

    Begin with a small amount of vinaigrette and toss gently, adding more as needed to avoid soggy greens.
