- 1tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
- 1tablespoon red wine vinegar

Separate the lettuce leaves, removing and discarding damaged or wilted areas, and break or cut them into 2-inch pieces. (There should be about eight loose cups.) Wash the lettuce in a basin of cool water, drain and dry thoroughly, preferably in a salad spinner, so no water remains.
- Step 2
Place all the dressing ingredients in a bowl large enough to hold the salad greens, and whisk briefly to mix but not to emulsify.
- Step 3
Add the greens, and toss well. Serve with the Cornish hens.
