MIXED GREEN SALAD WITH WHITE TRUFFLE OIL

This Mixed Green Salad with White Truffle Oil is one of the best salad I’ve ever made. The white truffle oil‘s aroma transforms a regular salad to something special.

Truffles are rare, expensive gourmet mushrooms from Italy and could cost more than a hundred dollars per ounce. Unlike other mushrooms, truffles are found underground. It takes a special kind of hunter to find them, traditionally a pig , but today it is commonly a dog.

I bought an 8 ounce bottle of white truffle oil from my local grocery store which cost $12, considerably cheap compared to the price of truffles. Then was wondering what to do with it, until I watched Dinner at Tiffani’s cooking show where she drizzled it on top of a salad. So here I am recreating her recipe with a few twists.

Let’s make some salad!

Whisk together the lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, some salt and pepper in a small bowl; slowly whisk in the olive oil.

In a large bowl, add the mixed green salad, almonds, dried cranberries, salad dressing and toss gently. Transfer to a serving platter.

Shave Parmesan cheese with a vegetable peeler.

Scatter the Parmesan on top, drizzle with the truffle oil and serve. Hope you enjoy this beautiful and healthy Mixed Green Salad with White Truffle Oil.
