Mesclun Salad with Banon Cheese

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 3/4 lb loosely packed mixed baby lettuces such as lolla rossa, oak-leaf, or Bibb (16 cups)
• 3 individual Banon cheeses (9 ounces total) or soft goat cheese, at room temperature
• Accompaniment: fougasse or baguette

Directions

1. Whisk together vinegar, salt, and pepper in a bowl until salt is dissolved, then add oil, whisking until emulsified.
2. Just before serving, toss lettuces with just enough vinaigrette to coat, then divide among plates. Halve cheeses and serve 1 half with each salad.
