  • About

Leeks have an alluring, herbaceous flavor unlike any other allium, and this simple salad is a great way to show it off. With slight adjustments in cooking time and quantity of vinaigrette you could substitute scallions, ramps, or, for that matter, shallots or pearl onions.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound leeks, preferably small and evenly sized, trimmed and cleaned
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, to taste

Method

  1. Put the leeks in a steamer over about 1 inch of boiling water; steam until tender, 10 minutes or more. Transfer the leeks to a platter.
  2. While the leeks are steaming, make a vinaigrette: Whisk together the oil, vinegar, mustard, and shallot. Add a pinch of salt and a few turns of the pepper mill, then taste and add more vinegar, salt, or oil as necessary.
