Simple French Salad with Homemade Vinaigrette
Cook Together, Eat Together: A Pop of Color for Your Tea Party
This simple salad is so easy to make and adds color and texture to a tea party or bridal shower. It balances well with all the richer foods like cream cheese sandwiches, desserts, or scones.
We love a good salad, but I often find myself going to a restaurant to buy a salad versus making one. All the ingredients and prep can seem like too much effort. I know sometimes I just want to keep it simple! That’s why I love this salad. Not only do I find it fresh and a complimentary side dish to a variety of meals, but it’s also so easy to make.

This recipe is our take on a classic, simple French salad. We combine fennel, mixed greens, artichoke hearts and a homemade dressing for a fresh and easy side salad.
ingredients:
- 1 4 to 5 oz package of baby mix greens
- 1 small fennel bulb
- 1 6 oz package or can of grilled artichoke hearts
Salad Dressing
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons shallots, minced
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- dash of pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 4 to 6 tablespoons olive oil, to taste
instructions:
- Mix apple cider vinegar with shallots and soak for 5-10 minutes.
- Slice fennel paper thin and soak in cold water for 15 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
- Mix vinegar and shallots with salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard.
- Whisk in olive oil. Start by adding 4 tablespoons of olive oil, then add more to taste.
- Plate a handful of lettuce. Then top with sliced fennel and grilled artichoke hearts.
- Finish with dressing.
NOTES:
We like to use Organic Girl baby spring mix greens and Monterey Farms vacuumed sealed grilled artichoke hearts. We find both in the produce section of our grocery store.
