With a Perfected French Vinaigrette Makes 8 servings
----------------- Vinaigrette: ----------------
1 x egg yolk (optional)
1 x heaping tablespoon Dijon mustard
3/4 tsp sea salt or other coarse salt
3 tbl white wine vinegar or champagne vinegar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup olive oil
----------------- Salad: ----------------
2 med heads butter or Bibb lettuce
Instructions:
Instructions: Sea salt or other coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

To make vinaigrette: Whisk the egg yolk, mustard, salt and vinegar together

In a small bowl until smooth. Gradually whisk in the oils to form a creamy emulsion the consistency of a thin mayonnaise. Store the vinaigrette in the refrigerator if not using within the hour. The vinaigrette will keep for about 1 week in the refrigerator.

To assemble salad: Carefully wash the lettuce, remove the tough lower center ribs; dry the leaves in a salad spinner or on tea towel. Tear the leaves into large bite-size pieces and place in a large salad bowl.

Toss the greens with just enough of the vinaigrette - about1/4 cup - to coat lightly. Sprinkle the salad with the minced parsley and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve at once.
