A perfect, easy and different salad! Using a good mustard makes a big difference; I used a French tarragon mustard. Also rinsed the onions to make them less strong. Would make again.
Definitely greater than the sum of its parts. Used evoo. Was a delicious accompaniment to the smothered chicken.
Use my own verjus vinaigrette
