[Music] Hi everyone, my name is Leah and welcome to the kitchen. In the height of summer, we have a garden producing an abundance of baby lettuce and I wanted to use it for a recipe. Today, we’re diving into a classic French cafe favorite, the salad Parisian. It’s a simple yet elegant salad that’s been a staple in Parisian beastro for decades. So, let’s get started in making this Parisian salad. For this recipe, you’ll want a delicate light green lettuce, some baby potatoes, olive oil, red wine vinegar, dijon mustard, girkens, thick sliced ham, some colamada olives, eggs, black pepper, salt, and griier cheese. Begin by washing some baby potatoes, and placing them in a pot. Fill the pot with enough cold water to fully submerge the potatoes. Place the pot on the stove and turn the heat on high and cover with a lid. Remove the lid when the water is boiling and lower the heat and simmer the potatoes for 12 minutes. The potatoes are done when you can easily poke them with a knife. Then drain the cooked potatoes and set aside. Gently place four to six uncooked eggs in a pot. Fill the pot with enough cold water to fully submerge the eggs. Place the pot on the stove and turn the heat on high to bring the water to a boil. When the water is boiling, cover with a lid. Turn off the heat and let the eggs sit for 8 minutes. And then drain the hard-boiled eggs and run cold water all over them. Slice 4 oz of griier cheese into 1/2-in thin strips. Then cut the strips into 1/2-in cubes. Cut a thick slice of plain ham into 1/2-in strips and then cut the strips into 1/2-in pieces. Slice eight to 10 cooked and cooled baby potatoes in half lengthwise and set aside. Slice the peeled hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise and set aside. [Music] Finally, slice about four girkens into thin pieces. For the dressing, add 2 tbsps of dijon mustard to a measuring cup, followed by four tablespoons of red wine vinegar. Whisk the mustard and vinegar together until thoroughly combined. Gradually pour in a/2 cup of olive oil, whisking continuously until the oil is fully emulsified. [Music] Add in some salt to taste, followed by some black pepper [Music] and whisk once more to combine. On a large flat platter, lay out a bed of baby lettuce. [Applause] Arrange the hard-boiled egg halves on top. Add the potato halves in between the eggs. Sprinkle some of the diced ham all over the top of the salad. [Music] Followed by distributing the cubed griier cheese. [Music] Spread out the sliced gerkins and top with a handful of colam olives. [Music] We have finished making this Parisian salad.
