TOSSED GREENS WITH TOMATOES, ONIONS AND BASIL VINAIGRETTE

SERVES 4

I love salads and this is one of my favorite salad dressing recipes. Use any mixture of salad greens you prefer.

INGREDIENTS

About 6 cups torn salad greens, rinsed and dried

1/3 cup coarsely chopped sweet or red onion

3/4 cup grape or cherry tomatoes, halved

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons balsamic or red wine vinegar

4 tablespoons olive oil

1 large clove garlic, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon shredded fresh basil

2 tablespoons freshly grated or shredded Parmesan cheese

Place the greens, tomatoes and onions in a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix together the mustard and vinegar. Slowly drizzle in the oil, whisking rapidly to emulsify. Stir in the garlic, salt, pepper and basil. Pour over the greens. (Depending on the amount of greens, you might not need all of the dressing. Any extra can be refrigerated for several days.) Sprinkle with the cheese and toss to combine.
