CHOPPED SALAD BY MARCONI'S IN BALTIMORE



Chopped Salad by Marconi's in Baltimore image

"Marconi's" restaurant opened it's doors in the early 1920's, and had been a staple on the Baltimore restaurant scene until it closed recently. This historic restaurant is truly where I obtained my love of lettuce salads when I was a youngster. I went with my mother and father, downtown (sometimes even during the week!) to enjoy the great American "classic dinner". I always felt like a grown-up ordering my own salad, which was made table side. I absolutely fell in love with the big old woodened, seasoned, salad bowls and large wooden forks to mix up the ingredients. I could eat anyone under the table eating one of these salads, and to this day, this salad is a favorite of mine. Just recently, this inspired "Marconi Chopped Salad" showed up in the "Baltimore Sun" paper by Brucie White who answered a request for this recipe. Although "Marconi's" never officially published this recipe, Mr. White has tried to put together the components that were so inspired for so long in memory of this great establishment. I have added my own twist by some additions, but I wish to credit Mr. White for his contribution. Go ahead, chop some salad, and remember when.............

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 40m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 medium head iceberg lettuce, washed and dried
1 medium head romaine lettuce, washed and dried
10 -12 frozen artichoke hearts (in brine, not marinated, about 12 ounces drained) or 10 -12 canned artichoke hearts (in brine, not marinated, about 12 ounces drained)
1 cup hearts of palm (about 12 ounces drained)
1 avocado
6 ounces blue cheese, such as Saga, Maytag (1 cup) or 6 ounces gorgonzola, crumbled (1 cup)
12 -14 slices cooked bacon, slices (crumbled, crisp-cooked bacon strips or equivalent amount of crisp real-bacon bits)
3/4 cup chopped hard-cooked egg (2 large eggs, see Note)
3/4 cup finely minced red onion
3/4 cup seeded chopped plum tomato
2/3 cup white balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
3 1/2 tablespoons Italian salad dressing mix, such as Good Seasons (see Note)
1 cup extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • To prepare vinaigrette: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the vinegar and 1/3 cup cup of water.
  • Whisk the mustard and salad dressing mix until well mixed.
  • Add the olive oil and whisk until the dressing is emulsified.
  • Let the dressing rest for a few minutes before using so that the flavors can blend. Refrigerate in a tightly-lidded glass or rigid plastic container for up to 7 days and whisk before using.
  • Note: If you use Good Seasons brand mix, two packets work well.
  • To prepare salad: Cut the iceberg and romaine lettuces into ½-inch squares. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  • Cut the artichoke hearts into eighths and the hearts of palm into 1/4-inch-long pieces and add to the lettuce.
  • Peel the avocado and remove the pit. Cut the avocado into ½-inch cubes and add to the lettuce.
  • Crumble the blue cheese over the salad. Sprinkle the bacon bits, chopped egg, onion, and tomato over the salad.
  • Add the vinaigrette, toss well, and serve.
  • Note: To hard-cook eggs, put them in a saucepan with cold water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover, remove from the heat, and set aside for 15 minutes, during which time the eggs will harden. This is a better method than cooking the eggs in boiling water. There is less chance of the eggs cracking.

CRUNCHY CHOPPED SALAD



Crunchy chopped salad image

Encourage kids to learn essential kitchen skills with this crunchy salad made with pomegranate seeds. The recipe is easy for children aged seven to 11 to follow

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Side dish

Time 20m

Yield Serves 4-6 (with leftover dressing)

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 lemon
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp honey
10 cherry tomatoes (use a mixture of different colours, if you like)
1⁄2 cucumber
2 Little Gem lettuces
1 punnet of cress
100g pomegranate seeds
25g mixed seeds (we used sunflower and pumpkin seeds; see tip below)
chopping board
tea towel or kitchen paper (optional)
sharp knife
citrus juicer
tablespoon
teaspoon
jam jar or small bowl
large salad bowl
kitchen scissors
measuring scales

Steps:

  • Before you get started take a look at our chopping and knife skills guide. If your chopping board doesn't have anti-slip grips, lay a dampened tea towel or sheet of kitchen paper on the work surface, then place the board on top to stop it from slipping.
  • Holding the lemon with your hand in the bridge position, cut the lemon in half. Push one half onto a citrus juicer, twist and squeeze to release the juice. Repeat with the second lemon half. Pour the juice into a jam jar or small bowl along with the oil.
  • Add the mustard, honey and a good pinch each of salt and black pepper. Seal the jar and shake to combine, or whisk the ingredients together. Will keep covered in the fridge for up to a week.
  • Cut the tomatoes in half by pinching each one between your thumb and a finger and carefully slicing through the middle with a small serrated knife. Cut each piece in half again to make quarters, then tip the tomatoes into a large bowl.
  • Wipe down the chopping board, then cut the cucumber in half lengthways. Put the two halves cut-side down on the board so they don't roll around, then cut in half again along the length, so you have four chunky sticks of cucumber. Cut across the cucumber now to make little triangles, keeping your free hand in the claw position with your fingers tucked away from the blade of the knife. Tip the cucumber into the bowl with the tomatoes.
  • Cut the hard stalk off the lettuces, then cut each lettuce in half and in half again to get four wedges. Working with one lettuce wedge at a time, hold the wedge with your hand in the claw position and chop it into small ribbons - the smaller, the better for this salad. Repeat with the remaining wedges and tip the lettuce into the bowl.
  • Snip the cress straight into the bowl using kitchen scissors. Weigh out the pomegranate seeds using the scales and add these to the bowl. Repeat with the mixed seeds. Drizzle over roughly half of the dressing over the salad (you will have some leftover) and toss everything together to coat.
