CHOPPED ICEBERG SALAD WITH BUTTERMILK DRESSING AND CRISPY CHICKPEAS



Chopped Iceberg Salad with Buttermilk Dressing and Crispy Chickpeas image

The classic iceberg salad is always a welcome piece of Americana. You can even put the iceberg in the freezer for 30 minutes before serving to make it extra cold. So juicy. Hydrating. American. I love it. The combination here of tangy buttermilk dressing, juicy lettuce, pickled onions and crispy chickpeas is not your average chopped iceberg salad. Great textures and tastes!

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/2 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
Kosher salt
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
1 cup buttermilk, plus more if needed
1/4 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 large clove garlic, grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup canola oil
1 cup cooked chickpeas, drained, dried with a kitchen towel
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 small heads iceberg lettuce, outer layer and core removed, roughly chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 scallions, very thinly sliced on a bias

Steps:

  • For the onions: To pickle the onions, bring the vinegar, sugar, a pinch of salt and 1 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Put the onions in a small heatproof bowl and pour the pickling liquid over them. Let the onions cool to room temperature on the counter. Transfer to a resealable container and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • For the buttermilk dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the sour cream, buttermilk and mayonnaise. Add the dill, hot sauce, Worcestershire, garlic powder, garlic and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside. If too thick, add a splash of more buttermilk or water to adjust.
  • For the chickpeas: Pour the oil into a small, heavy-bottomed pot and heat over medium heat until it registers 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Fit a baking sheet with a wire rack.
  • Season the chickpeas with the paprika and salt and pepper to taste. Using a slotted spoon, drop half of the chickpeas into the hot oil and fry until browned and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the fried chickpeas with the slotted spoon to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chickpeas.
  • For the salad: Spread the iceberg lettuce on a baking sheet and season liberally with salt and pepper. Drizzle with the dressing and follow with a layer of the scallions. Top with the pickled onions (drained of their liquid) and the crispy chickpeas. Season to taste.

CHOPPED ICEBERG WEDGE SALAD (THE MERMAID OYSTER BAR)



Chopped Iceberg Wedge Salad (The Mermaid Oyster Bar) image

This is Zach Braff's (of Scrubs) favorite salad from The Mermaid Oyster Bar in New York City. Recipe was in Food Network Magazine June 2010. I think some grilled shrimp would be DIVINE on top of this salad!!! I suggest letting the dressing rest for an hour or two to get maximum flavor.

TWISTED ICEBERG LETTUCE SALAD WITH WARM GORGONZOLA DRESSING



Twisted Iceberg Lettuce Salad With Warm Gorgonzola Dressing image

This is a classic salad which was inspired by some posts this week which reminded me of mine. But this is my favorite way, still classic flavors but a bit different, with a warm blue cheese or gorgonzola sauce as well as diced marinated vegetables and roasted tomatoes make this a great salad - upgraded.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 head iceberg lettuce, cut in wedges
5 bacon, slices (chopped and cooked)
1/2 small red onion, diced fine
1/4 cup black olives, diced fine
1/3 cup seedless cucumber, fine chopped
1 teaspoon italian vinaigrette (your favorite store bought will work fine)
1/8 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half and roasted
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt for the tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon black pepper for the tomatoes
2 shallots, finely chopped
3 tablespoons butter
6 ounces gorgonzola
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon pepper (for the sauce)

Steps:

  • Make the blue cheese sauce. In a small pot add the 3 tablespoons of butter and melt, add the shallots and cook 2-3 minutes until lightly soft. Add the cheese, sauce, cream and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook on low on the back burner until you are ready to serve.
  • Saute the chopped or diced bacon until nice and crispy remove and drain on a paper towel and set to the side.
  • Marinating the chopped vegetables. Chop the olives (or you can buy them pre chopped), chop the cucumber and red onion. Toss in a mixing cup of anything you want with just 1 teaspoon of Italian vinaigrette. You don't need much and you don't want to soak the vegetables. Just a light seasoning and then chill.
  • As the vegetables marinade, now the tomatoes. Either on the stove in a saute pan or in a 400 degree oven, cut the grape or cherry tomatoes in half, drizzle a little olive oil on them, salt and pepper and cook just until slightly cooked. Just 5-7 minutes tops. Don't over cook, you want them warm but not "too soft or mushy.".
  • Lets put it together -- Now put your wedge on a nice plate with the chilled wedge, then top with some of the roasted tomatoes which should be slightly warm, top with some of the marinated cucumber, olive and onion mix. Then top with the warm gorgonzola sauce and top with chopped bacon.
  • It just takes the classic and makes it even better, the warm dressing is so good against the chilled marinated chopped vegetables and chilled lettuce.

ICEBERG SALAD WITH ITALIAN DRESSING



Iceberg Salad with Italian Dressing image

If this brings back memories of the "house salad" from that Italian-American restaurant you grew up eating at, then we consider our jobs done.

Categories     Bon Appétit     Salad     Mozzarella     Onion     Oregano

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup olive oil
5 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 garlic clove, finely grated
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 small head of iceberg lettuce
1/2 small red onion, sliced into rings
2 ounces provolone piccante cheese, thinly sliced
1 cup drained small mozzarella balls, torn
10 peperoncini, halved if large

Steps:

  • Whisk oil, vinegar, mayonnaise, sugar, oregano, and garlic in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cut lettuce in half through stem end. Tear apart into large pieces. Arrange on a platter and scatter onion, provolone, mozzarella, and peperoncini over, nestling in among leaves. Drizzle with dressing to coat to your liking (you'll probably have some extra) and top with more black pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the right lettuce. Iceberg lettuce is the traditional choice for this salad, but you can also use other types of lettuce, such as romaine or butter lettuce.
  • Cut the lettuce thinly. This will help the dressing to coat the lettuce evenly.
  • Use a sharp knife. This will help you to get clean, even cuts.
  • Chill the salad before serving. This will help to keep it crisp and refreshing.
  • Don't overdress the salad. A little bit of dressing goes a long way.
  • Serve the salad immediately. This will prevent the lettuce from wilting.

Conclusion:

Chopped iceberg salad with Roquefort dressing is a classic salad that is perfect for a summer meal. It is light, refreshing, and flavorful. The dressing is made with Roquefort cheese, which gives it a tangy and slightly salty flavor. The salad is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. If you are looking for a healthy and delicious salad, this is a great option.
