Wilted Greens with Warm Sherry VingaigretteKenji Toma

Larry Forgione, a chef dedicated to preserving regional American cuisine and crops, inspired our wilted salad. In his cookbook An American Place, collards are softened in a warm Sherry dressing. We found that the cream Sherry's sweet nuttiness also works especially well with baby fall greens like mizuna or beet tops. But choose the highest-quality leafy vegetables in season.

Cooks' note:

Dressing can be made 1 day ahead and chilled. Heat through before tossing with salad.
