ChefXi OfficialA crisp and refreshing garden salad with a classic red wine vinaigrette.
Wash and dry the mixed greens. Slice the cucumber and use a peeler to create carrot ribbons. Toss together in a large bowl.
In a small jar or bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, mustard, and oregano until emulsified.
Just before serving, drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
Don't dress the salad too early or the greens will wilt.
A traditional Italian side salad (insalata) is meant to be light and refreshing. Use the highest quality extra virgin olive oil you have. Inspired by the trattorias of Rome.
