Ingredients
1 large hard-boiled egg yolk
2 3/4 teaspoons white-wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
16 cups loosely packed mâche (lamb's lettuce)
Directions
Break the hard-boiled egg yolk into a blender. Add the white-wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Blend on medium speed until the mixture is thoroughly combined and smooth.
With the blender motor still running at low speed, pour the olive oil into the mixture in a slow, steady stream. Continue blending until the vinaigrette is fully emulsified and creamy. Stop the blender once the oil is fully incorporated.
Place the fresh mâche greens in a large salad bowl. Pour the prepared Creole vinaigrette over the mâche and toss gently but thoroughly until all the leaves are lightly coated. Serve immediately.
Comments
Mâche is a specialty green that Charlotte chains rarely stock consistently—you will likely need to make a special stop at Harris Teeter's produce section or a farmer's market, which adds real friction to a weeknight plan. The emulsified vinaigrette itself is straightforward and cheap, but the recipe as stated ignores prep time for whisking the aioli properly; expect closer to 40 minutes with proper technique. This is a crowd-pleaser for 10 at a dinner party where you can plan ahead for the mâche hunt, and leftovers hold reasonably well for a day, but it demands advance shopping and patience with the emulsion.
