what would you serve with this salad?
Just in case you continue to have trouble:
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons plus 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Mix altogether/shake until combined. Makes 1/2 C.
NancyQ: When I first pulled up this webpage, I couldn't see the complete instructions but when I clicked on the link to "see more comments," the full set of instructions PLUS a link to "lemon vinaigrette" appeared. If clicking on the "see more comments" link doesn't reveal the additional information, search the MS website for "lemon vinaigrette."
Sorry but I need to know how much of the dijon mustard, olive oil and lemon juice. How much zest also??
I suggest adding ~1 tablespoon of vinegar (any type) to the water while poaching the chicken. It draws out nutrients from the chicken bones, making for a much more nourishing broth. It won't affect the flavor of the chicken much, if at all. If you have time, add the bones back into the broth after pulling off the meat to cook longer, thus getting even more nutrients. Broth is beautiful!
This is what they used.....Dijon mustard, extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice.
