Salad with a Wheat Beer Vinaigrette

  • ¼ cup dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup white wine vinegar
  • ½ cup Barvarian style wheat beer (reserve remaining for the chef)
  • ½ cup canola oil
  • 2 teaspoons minced chives
  • 2 tablespoons minced parsley
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • salad greens
  • ½ cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced
  • croutons
  • Gruyere cheese, grated
  • salt
  • pepper

In a food processor add mustard, vinegar and beer. Blend together. While the processor is running, slowly drizzle the oil into the mixture. Then pour a slow steady stream until it has been incorporated and emulsified. Add herbs, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Drizzle over favorite salad greens, toss and add remaining ingredients. Serve with a topping of grated Gruyere cheese.
