Baby Carrots And Watercress Salad With Tarragon Vinaigrette
Servings: 6
Directions
- Make a confit of mushrooms and garlic by braising them slowly in extra virgin olive oil for 15 to 30 min. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and set aside to cold.
- When cold sufficient to combine, add in remaining ingredients to mushrooms and garlic, toss and serve.
- This recipe yields 6 servings.
- Comments: The sweetish late-harvest Riesling vinegar in the Tarragon Vinaigrette recipe is a key element to the success of this salad, so make no substitutes. Look for the vinegar at gourmet food stores or possibly other specialty food stores.
