Instructions

Step 1

Put vinegar, mustard, and egg yolk into a blender, cover, and blend on low speed for a few seconds. With motor still running, gradually add oil in a slow, steady stream through hole in blender lid. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer dressing to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until chilled.

Step 2

Put sausage, tomatoes, cheese, onions, cornichons, and 1⁄4 cup of the dressing into a large bowl and toss well. Adjust seasonings. Add eggs and more dressing, if you like, and gently toss again. (Save remaining dressing for another use. Dressing will keep, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake well before using.)

Step 3

Divide lettuce leaves between 4 chilled plates and cover greens with dressed salad.
