Can I Have a Big Salad?

Happy first day of summer! Ever just want a big salad? Famous words from Elaine, on Seinfeld’s “The Big Salad” episode. That’s what I was craving. So I made a big Niçoise salad with salmon kabobs, drizzled with anchovy vinaigrette. Don’t be afraid of the fishes; they add the perfect saltiness and tang that this dressing craves. I will share with you this amazing anchovy salad dressing. It’s the game changer that will take your salads to the next level.

Anchovy Vinaigrette

Ingredients:

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 teaspoon honey

1 garlic clove chopped

3 good quality anchovies (I like these babies conservasortiz.com)

1 teaspoon Grey Poupon ( the only worthy mustard)

Kosher salt to taste

Fresh ground pepper to taste

Directions:

Toss all the ingredients, except the olive oil, into a blender or food processor. Pulse for 30 seconds. Slowly pour the olive oil in while the motor is running. You can store it in a cute mason jar in the fridge, or dip an entire baguette in this deliciousness (whoops that’s what I did).

So here’s my version of a “Big Salad”! A large Nicoise salad with salmon. Where is your big salad going to take you?
