French Bistro Salad

French Bistro Salad | Bijouxs Little Jewels

Ah, the French bistros of France offer the most lovely salads. Always served with fresh local ingredients. The basic Bistro Salad is my favorite with delicate lettuce and a Dijon vinaigrette, vegetables and often chicken is an option. French Bistro Salad is recipe No. 629 in the Recipe Membership Collection.

FRENCH BISTRO SALAD

The dressing recipe originally came from my cooking teachers way back in my Pasadena young-girl days. I learned so much from those teachers and classes.

Here’s how I make it. Place a small clove of chopped garlic into wooden bow, add a pinch of coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and use the back of a wooden salad spoon to mash garlic and salt. Add about 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar stir and then whisk in about 4 tablespoons of good olive oil. Top with the greens and take it to the table to be tossed and served toward the end of the meal, so French.

MAPLE SALAD BOWL

I have been making versions of this salad since I got my large Maple Salad bowl from a trip to Boston what seems like a hundred years ago. The bowl is cracked from many tumbles off top shelves to the floor, character I guess. I did find a solid maple bowl here, on my wish list, but I will always cherish this salad bowl.
