Romaine Salad with Red Wine Vinaigrette
Crispy fresh romaine lettuce is chopped up into a salad and then mixed with olives, celery leaves, white onions and tomatoes. The real star is the chianti balsamic vinegar enriched with evoo to make a tangy sweet vinaigrette.
Ingredients
1 head of romaine lettuce chopped, washed and spun dry in a salad spinner.
2-3 ripe tomatoes, diced
1 large cucumber, peeled seeded and chopped medium dice
½ cup celery and celery leaves, washed dried, and diced
¼ cup white onions, diced and rinsed
1 tsp dried Italian or fresh chopped oregano
2 tbsp dijon mustard
Optional:
1 cup feta cheese, diced
Directions
1
In a large mixing bowl, add the mustard and vinegar, then slowly whisk in the EVOO to create a creamy emulsion. Add all the ingredients to this emulsion tossing well with your hands or a salad fork to dress the greens completely and serve immediately.

Why is it so hard, on your website, to find a simple vinaigrette recipe? For many years I have used Colavita aged red wine vinegar (17 oz. bottles), usually with added some Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard, extra virgin olive oil (I buy President’s Reserve, made in Italy, from Trader Joe’s), and a little salt and fresh ground pepper. Sometimes add some chopped red onion – most often used on greens and other vegetable salads.
It’s good – my husband was originally French and he enjoyed everything I used it on. BUT I’d like your recommendation for specific ingredients amounts.
We will work on that, thank you for the suggestion!
