2. In a senior sauté pan bring water to the boil and salt it. Submerge prepared leeks into hot salted water. Bring the water to the boil again and cook leeks for 15-20 min on low heat using water seal formed between the pan and its lid.

3. When cooked, cool the leeks, pat them with a paper towel and arrange on a serving plate.

4. Prepare vinaigrette dressing by mixing finely chopped herbs, mustard grains, natural yogurt, salt and pepper until smooth. Cool the dressing.

5. Pour vinaigrette dressing over leeks arranged on the serving plate, then drizzle them with balsamic vinegar and honey mixture. Preferably refrigerate the dish for a while to let the leeks soak in the dressing.
