Leek Salad with Vinaigrette Dressing

Years ago, I made this Leek Salad with Vinaigrette Dressing recipe for my husband who loved it. Over the years, he has asked me to make it again, but I couldn't remember where I got the recipe. Well, I found it! It’s in Gourmet LA: A Collection of Fresh and Elegant Recipes (1989). The Junior League cookbooks are generally excellent.
