In a blender or food processor place scallions, mustard, & half of the oil, salt & pepper. Blend on high slowly drizzling in rest of oil. Scallions should be blended evenly, no obtrusive large pieces. Whisk this oil mixture in with vinegar, season with salt & pepper & allow to stand.

Add any other vegetables you purchased. Taste Dressing by dipping a vegetable or piece of lettuce into the whisked mixture. Adjust seasoning as needed. IMMEDIATLEY BEFORE SERVING, whisk in ¼ - ½ of dressing (depending on personal preference). Heavier vegetables will fall to the bottom. Bring these to the top & lightly mix in optional Microgreens. Serve immediately. This salad will not hold overnight, it must be consumed when dressing has been added. If you wish to eat the following day, refrigerate salad separately from dressing. When ready to serve, bring dressing to room temperature before tossing.
