Chopped Vegetable Salad
- 1/2 teaspoon dry English mustard dissolved in 1 tablespoon water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1/3 cup pure olive oil
- 2 tablespoons prepared chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped watercress leaves
- 2 tablespoons chopped cooked bacon
- 1/2 cup each diced carrot, celery, fresh-cooked beets, red peppers, yellow peppers, cucumbers, and tomatoes
- 1 small Bibb lettuce, washed, dried, and torn into bite-size pieces
- 1 1/2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
- In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade, combine the mustard paste, salt pepper.
- Pulse the mixture together briefly.
- Then add the vinegar a little at a time.
- While continuing to pulse, add the olive oil in a very patient, slow, steady stream to produce a smooth, creamy, mayonnaise-like emulsion.
- At this point, the dressing can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.
- When ready to serve, stir in the chili sauce, watercress, and bacon to complete the classic "21" Lorenzo Dressing.
- Put the remaining salad ingredients in a large bowl and toss with the dressing.
