Salad
Citrus Vinaigrette
Method
Citrus Vinaigrette
Prepare and emulsify dressing
In a small bowl or jar, combine the orange juice, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey. Add the minced shallot and garlic. Whisk or shake until combined.
Salad
Prepare vegetables
Rinse and spin-dry the mixed field greens in a salad spinner; remove any tough stems or bruised leaves. Rinse grape tomatoes and dry, then halve them. Wash the cucumber, peel if desired, and thinly slice or half-moon slice to yield about 1/2 cup.
Assemble salad
Place the 6 cups of well-dried mixed greens into a large salad bowl. Scatter the halved grape tomatoes and sliced cucumber over the greens. Add the croutons and chopped parsley (if using).
Dress and toss
Drizzle about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the citrus vinaigrette over the salad (start with 2 tablespoons). Gently toss using salad tongs or two large spoons until the greens are lightly coated. Taste and add more dressing if desired, up to the remaining amount. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Serve
Transfer to individual plates or serve family-style. Offer additional dressing and croutons at the table.
