As Cam mentioned, the vinaigrette for this recipe was left out. Here it is from the Oct. 4, 2012 article on pear salads: “Jar Vinaigrette Combine in a jar 1 cup olive oil, 1/3 cup sherry vinegar or wine vinegar (or to taste), 1 to 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cover and shake vigorously. Use as needed; store in the refrigerator.”

I don't know why it's not here but this was the original dressing in the article (I have been making this one for years). Note that it may also have had mustard in it - not sure because I don't like mustard so always omit it from any dressing. But otherwise - this was it. The tarragon is the key thing here. Dressing: • 1 c. olive oil • ¼ c. chopped tarragon • 3 T. lemon juice • Salt • Pepper

Perfect with only one substitution (pecans swapped for walnuts). Served with lamb chops. Mark Bittman know how to make simple delicious food—no unnecessary steps or ingredients.

This is ridiculously delicious for how simple it is! I worked with the ingredients I had on hand and picked romaine from the garden, used some leftover blue cheese, an apple, and sliced almonds- because the husband is nut-picky. With the lemon, I added cracked pepper, a few splashes of liquid aminos, and a drizzle of olive oil... I know I'm supposed to wait until dinner, but it's right there... Yummy.
