- Choose fresh and tender mustard greens: When shopping for greens, look for leaves that are crisp, bright, and free of yellow or brown spots. If the stems are tough, remove them and use only the tender leaves. To enhance the flavor of the greens, soak them in cold water for 10-15 minutes before rinsing and drying.
- Mix a tangy dressing: Prepare a zesty dressing by whisking together Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Adjust the ingredients according to your preference to achieve the right balance of sweet and tangy flavors.
- Add complementary ingredients: Boost the salad’s flavor and texture by adding complementary ingredients like sweet dried cranberries, crunchy toasted almonds or walnuts, and creamy crumbled feta cheese. Toss the greens and toppings with the dressing just before serving for a vibrant, refreshing salad that’s perfect for any occasion.
