Salad with Lemon Mustard Vinaigrette

Just so you know, it's not all about chocolate cake and pasta and rich stew and other fattening foods here on Misadventures of Mrs. B.

Oh, no.

Sometimes I like to play it light.

Like tonight.  As soon as the temps start to warm up even a little bit and it looks like spring will actually show itself, I feel the urge to eat salad.

I know! Right? Crazy.

So tonight I figured it might be a good idea to make a salad and feature my favorite and easiest dressing!

Start off with a tablespoon of dijon mustard.

Add a tablespoon of spicy brown mustard.

Mix in three to four tablespoons of lemon juice.  Whisk it vigorously.

Then drizzle in a stream of olive oil as you whisk constantly.  Emulsify.  So scientific.

While this was going on, I was sauteing these beautiful babies...

In a lovely combination of olive oil, I Can't Believe It's Not Butter (hey, like I said, I try to lighten up when possible) and one pressed clove of garlic.

Oh, yum.  Yum yum yum.

I drizzled my dressing over a plate of greens, topped it off with sliced avocado and the mushrooms.

Heaven...I'm in heaven...

Delicious!

And it went great...with my...burger.

Hey.  I can't go completely light.
