Ingredients
- 6 cups Mixed greens
- 2 whole Fresh tomatoes (ripe, medium-sized)
- 0.25 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves (chopped)
Directions
Step 1
Thoroughly rinse the mixed greens under cold water and dry them using a clean kitchen towel or a salad spinner. Place the greens into a large salad bowl and set aside.
Step 2
Prepare the fresh tomato vinaigrette. Start by cutting the ripe tomatoes into quarters and removing any tough cores. Place the tomato quarters into a blender or food processor.
Step 3
To the blender, add extra-virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Step 4
Blend the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and emulsified, about 30-40 seconds.
Step 5
Taste the vinaigrette and adjust seasoning if needed. If the flavor is too acidic, add a little more honey. If it lacks tang, add a touch more vinegar.
Step 6
Pour the freshly made tomato vinaigrette over the mixed greens in the salad bowl. Sprinkle the chopped fresh basil leaves on top.
Step 7
Gently toss the salad using salad tongs or clean hands to ensure the greens are evenly coated in the dressing.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a fresh, healthy side or light main course. Enjoy!
