Recipe information
Yield
Serves 8
Ingredients
1 cup dry red wine, preferably Pinot Noir
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 ounces mesclun greens
1/4 cup fresh chervil leaves
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh tarragon
Preparation
Step 1
Bring the wine to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and cook until thickened and reduced to 3 tablespoons, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
Step 2
Combine the reduced wine, vinegar, and honey in a blender and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. With the motor running, slowly add the oil and blend until emulsified. The vinaigrette can be made 1 day in advance and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving.
Step 3
Combine the greens, chervil, parsley, and tarragon in a large bowl, drizzle with the vinaigrette, and toss to combine.
