Leeks Vinaigrette is a classic French bistro dish. It’s as simple as it can be. Leeks are simmered in water or stock and, once tender, are dressed with a tangy mustard dressing.  Americans most often think of salads as lettuce with add-ons, but a salad is simply defined as a dish of raw or cooked vegetables.

Summer salads are simple. Fresh tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and crunchy greens are all you need. Heading into fall, eating seasonal salads is a bit trickier.

Tomatoes and other vegetables are shipped halfway around the world, and these far-flung ingredients often lack flavor. It’s nice to think outside the salad box!  Leeks Vinaigrette is perfect for a fall salad.
