I carry all these ingredients already prepared but in separate Ziploc bags to the picnic. I assemble just before serving.

1 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, finely minced
3 Tbsp shallots,  finely minced
Salt and pepper to taste

  1. Put all ingredients into a jar with a tightly screwed down lid. Take to the picnic in a cooler. Shake before pouring over salad.

Ingredients - Salad

3 cup washed mixed greens
1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh mushrooms
12 strawberries sliced thinly
1/3 cup red onions sliced thin
