Chopped Salad with Simple Vinaigrette

serves 5-6

• 3 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
• 2 Tbs fresh lemon juice
• 1 Tbs red wine vinegar
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
• pinch of dried thyme
• salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 4-5 cups mixed lettuce, baby greens, spinach, herbs, etc
• 2-3 cups roughly chopped fresh vegetables

In a pint size jar with a tight fitting lid, add the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, garlic, mustard, and thyme. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.  Tighten the lid and shake well.  Set aside.

Place the greens on a large cutting board.  Pile the vegetables on the greens.  Shake the dressing again and drizzle over the vegetables.  Season the salad with salt and pepper.

With a large sharp knife, chop the salad, using the knife to turn the mixture.  Continue to chop until everything is bite-size.
