Claires Mixed Green Salad with Feta Vinaigrette

EatingWell

This salad was inspired by one served during the peak of summer at Claires Restaurant & Bar in Hardwick. Chef Steven Obranovich of Claires likes the soft crumbly sheeps-milk feta for this recipe. He cautions that the subtle briny notes of feta can sometimes be overpowered by too much lemon or an olive oil that's too fruity. Saltiness varies from feta to feta too. Add the ingredients a little at a time and taste as you go.

Yield: 6 servings, about 1 1/2 cups each

Preparation Time: 15 minutes

3 Tablespoons sunflower oil or canola oil
3 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, preferably mild-flavored

8 cups lightly packed mixed salad greens or arugula, any tough stems removed
