A green salad is a refreshing accompaniment to any meal. And if your looking for something extra-special, then you have to try this Mixed Greens Salad recipe. There’s a genius trick that takes it over the top. Simply rub the inside of your bowl with a clove of garlic before layering in the other ingredients. The aromatic adds a subtle hint of spice without overpowered the tender greens. Then whisk together an easy from-scratch vinaigrette with a pinch of mustard powder to finish the dish.

Babs’ tip: To make your own croutons, cut 2 slices of ciabatta bread into cubes. In medium skillet, heat 2 Tbs. oil and small whole clove garlic until hot. Add bread; cook, stirring often, until bread cubes are golden on all sides. Drain on paper towels.

This recipe originally ran in our print magazine and is excerpted from Celebrate with Babs by Barbara Costello.
