ChefXi OfficialA crisp, vibrant Italian field salad featuring a bright red wine vinaigrette, perfect for large-scale catering and events.
Whisk together the red wine vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
The mustard acts as an emulsifier to keep the dressing from separating.
Slowly stream in the extra virgin olive oil while whisking constantly until the dressing is thick and emulsified.
In a large catering bowl, toss the mixed field greens with the shredded carrots and sliced cucumbers.
If prepping for catering ahead of time, keep the vegetables separate from the greens until right before serving to prevent wilting.
Just before serving, drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat every leaf.
For large events, serve the dressing on the side to maintain the crisp texture of the greens.
