Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 3 medium medium leeks Cleaned and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Extra virgin recommended
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped Fresh is best for flavor
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • Salt and pepper To taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Clean the leeks thoroughly, removing any dirt or grit, and slice them into half-inch rounds.
  2. In a pot of salted boiling water, blanch the leeks for about 3-4 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, Dijon mustard, fresh dill, white wine vinegar, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
  4. Drizzle the mustard dill dressing over the blanched leeks and toss gently to combine.
  5. Serve warm or at room temperature as a gourmet side dish.

Notes

For a high-protein meal, serve leeks with grilled salmon or toss with white beans after dressing. Also great for meal prep; cook leeks ahead and dress before serving.
