Salad with walnuts and blue cheese

Serves 6

1 large bunch arugula
2 cups mizuna
2 cups torn romaine lettuce leaves
2 cups torn red leaf lettuce (such as lollo rosa or red sails)
1 small bunch micro greens such as red giant mustard or curly cress (optional)
1 recipe Mustardy vinaigrette (at right)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup walnut pieces
1 cup crumbled blue cheese

1. Wash the greens thoroughly and spin them dry. (If the leaves are not completely dry, the vinaigrette will not adhere to them.)

2. In a salad bowl, place the arugula, mizuna, romaine, red leaf, and micro greens. Toss gently. Drizzle the greens with several spoonfuls of the vinaigrette and toss gently. Add more dressing, a spoonful at a time, until the leaves are barely coated.

3. Divide the salad among 6 plates and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add walnuts and blue cheese. Alison Arnett
