    How to Make Winter Leek Salad with Mustard Vinaigrette

    1. Prepare the Leeks

    Trim and thoroughly clean the leeks. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the leeks and cook for 7 to 12 minutes until tender. Lift them from the pot and drain in a colander. Allow to cool slightly.

    2. Prepare the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, combine red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, a pinch of salt, and fresh-ground black pepper. Gradually whisk in the extra-virgin olive oil until well emulsified.

    3. Combine and Serve

    Gently squeeze out any excess water from the cooled leeks, and if needed, cut them into smaller pieces. Toss the leeks with a little salt, arrange on a serving plate, and spoon the mustard vinaigrette over them. Turn gently to coat evenly. Sprinkle with chopped parsley or chervil. Serve immediately.
