Whole Grain Mustard Vinaigrette
recipe can be halved
Ingredients: 
1/4 cup apple juice
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 cup canola oil
1 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons shallots, diced
1 teaspoon thyme leaves
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Lemon zest of 1/2 lemon

*

Measure the canola and olive oil and set aside.  In the blender add the apple juice, whole grain mustard, red wine vinegar, garlic, shallot, thyme leaves, and crushed red pepper, blend until well combined (about 1 minute).  While ingredients are still combining and the blender is still on, slowly begin adding the oil.  This should take about one full minute.

Once all of the oil is combined, add lemon zest, salt, and pepper to your liking.  Save in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Peel onions but keep whole, toss in olive oil with salt and pepper.  Put in a hot cast iron skillet and bake in oven for 20 minutes-until cooked throughout and golden on the outside.
                                       *
Dress greens with the dressing and plate.  Slice skirt steak diagonally against the grain in 1/2" wide slices.  Place strips on salad and garnish with shallots or onion which have been sliced from top to root end.
