Mesclun Mix Recipes

Steps:

• In a two-cup glass measure, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper. Slowly add the olive oil and continue whisking until the vinaigrette is emulsified. Toss the greens with enough dressing to moisten and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine the Dijon, juice of 1 lemon, thyme, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil in a small bowl; whisk until combined and homogenous.
• Remove 2 tablespoons of the marinade and rub all over the steak for 1 minute. Let sit for 10 minutes at room temperature.
• Meanwhile, whisk the juice of the remaining 1/2 lemon and the honey into the remaining marinade until the honey is blended. Season with salt. While whisking slowly, add the olive oil. Whisk constantly for 2 minutes; set aside to dress the salad later.
• Heat a large ovenproof saute pan over high heat for 2 minutes 30 seconds. Season the steak all over with 1 teaspoon salt.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to the hot pan, then add the steak. Cook until crusty and browned, about 1 minute on each of the 4 long sides of the steak.
• Place in the oven for 3 minutes. Remove the steak from the pan and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
• Meanwhile, toss the mixed greens with the dressing. Slice the steak and serve alongside the salad.

Steps:

• In a small saute pan add 2 tablespoons whole butter, dash of cayenne, 3 tablespoons sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the 1/2 cup of pecans. Cook this slowly over a very low flame, taking care to stir carefully and occasionally. The sugar will burn easily if the flame is too hot. On a stable cutting board, julienne the red pepper and then peel and section the 2 oranges. Squeeze the remaining orange pulp over a large bowl and to this add the 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss the salad greens in this and then place on a salad plate. Arrange the oranges and red bell pepper slices on the top and garnish with the caramelized pecan halves. Allow the pecans to cool before eating.

Steps:

• Place the sugar, oil, salt, and vinegar in a jar with a lid. Seal jar, and shake vigorously to mix.
• In a large bowl, mix salad greens, sweetened dried cranberries, strawberries, mango, and onion. To serve, toss with dressing and sprinkle with almonds.

Steps:
