How to Make Poireaux En Salade Leeks Vinaigrette

  1. Clean 2 large leeks thoroughly. Trim the dark green tops, leaving about 2 inches of green attached.
  2. Halve the leeks lengthwise and wash them thoroughly under cold running water to remove any grit. Split into 1-inch thick pieces.
  3. Tie the leek pieces into bundles of approximately 4-5 pieces with kitchen twine.
  4. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add leek bundles and gently simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until tender but still retaining their shape.
  5. Carefully remove the leeks from the water and drain well.
  6. Remove the twine from leek bundles.
  7. Meanwhile, prepare the vinaigrette (see below).
  8. Arrange the cooked leeks on a serving platter or individual plates.
  9. Drizzle generously with the vinaigrette and serve immediately or chill for later.
