Preparation
- Step 1
Make sure you have enough different greens to provide a salad of varied texture and color. Wash and dry greens thoroughly in a salad spinner. Tear the leaves with your hands; if the leaves are small, use them whole.
- Step 2
In a large salad bowl, place mustard, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper. Blend well.
- Step 3
Add the oil in a steady stream, whisking with a wire whisk until well blended. Since vinegar varies greatly in strength, taste to see if the vinaigrette has enough punch. Add more vinegar if necessary.
- Step 4
Add the greens, toss well with the vinaigrette and serve with the tuna.

Add maple syrup to soften the acid
2 TB dijon is too much. I reduced to 1 TB. Also added a couple of TB of extra oil and about 2 TB of water to make finished dressing more soluble. Excellent.
Pierre used to shake his in a jar and at times used a garlic press.
