Arugula And Smoked Mozzarella Salad With Lemon Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the shallot, mustard, vinegar, oil, sugar, honey and salt and pepper in a jar and shake to emulsify.
• Toss arugula with vinaigrette, to taste.

Steps:

• Whisk the olive oil, mayo, vinegar, Dijon, shallot, lemon juice and some salt and pepper together in a small bowl.
• Turn a gas burner on medium-high and cook the whole red pepper directly on the flame, turning occasionally, until charred all over, about 10 minutes. Put the pepper in a small bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a dish towel. Let stand for 15 minutes to steam, then use the back of a paring knife to remove the skin from the pepper. Remove the stem and seeds, then cut the pepper into thin strips.
• Toss the arugula and mint together in a wide shallow bowl or platter, then arrange the mozzarella and peppers on top. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and serve.

Steps:

• For the salad: Combine the white vinegar, sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan with 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and then add the onions. Return the liquid to a simmer, then take off the heat and let stand 15 minutes; drain.
• Put the arugula in a large salad bowl and add a few of the pickled onions and all of the cherry tomatoes; toss to combine. (Reserve the remaining pickled onions for another use.)
• For the vinaigrette: Combine the olive oil, Champagne vinegar, honey, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a mason jar and shake vigorously until emulsified.
• Add just enough vinaigrette to lightly coat the salad and toss well. Season to taste with salt and pepper. The remaining vinaigrette can be kept refrigerated up to 1 week.
