Mustard Greens & Frisee Salad with Honey Dijon Vinaigrette

I love the peppery and pungent flavor of fresh mustard greens. By themselves, the greens can be a bit overpowering, especially when they are picked right before being washed and served. However, when complimented by some sweeter lettuce varieties and a honey Dijon vinaigrette, along with some fresh raspberries, goat cheese, cherry tomatoes, and toasted pecans, this salad becomes transcendent.

If you taste the mustard greens and find they are too pungent for your liking, feel free to cut down on the quantity of mustard greens and increase the quantity of sweeter lettuce.

The following recipe provides 4-6 servings of salad.
