Romaine and Radish Salad With Buttermilk Lemon Dressing image

Those of you who are getting loads of lettuce in your C.S.A. boxes may be tiring of salads, but this simple combination will never get old for me. Radishes look and taste beautiful against a romaine backdrop, and the creamy dressing is especially complementary. Radishes are rich in folic acid, vitamin C and anthocyanins, phytonutrients that are believed to have antioxidant properties.

CITRUS SALAD DRESSING

Citrus Salad Dressing image

This tart, sweet salad dressing is wonderful on dark, leafy salad greens like romaine or leaf lettuce tossed with orange segments, black olives, and red onion slivers.

Provided by Lindas Busy Kitchen

Categories Salad Dressings

Time 5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

1/3 cup fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
salt and black pepper, to taste

Steps:

Whisk all the ingredients together, or combine in a small jar and shake well.
Keeps in the refrigerator for 2 days.

Tips:

For a more intense citrus flavor, use a mix of orange, lemon, and grapefruit juice.
If you don't have fresh citrus on hand, you can use bottled juice. Just be sure to use 100% juice, not juice that has been sweetened or flavored.
If you're using a bitter variety of romaine lettuce, you may want to blanch it before using. This will help to remove some of the bitterness.
To blanch romaine lettuce, simply place it in a pot of boiling water for 30 seconds to a minute. Then, remove it from the water and immediately place it in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
You can add other ingredients to this salad to make it more substantial, such as grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
This salad is best served immediately after it is made. However, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Conclusion:

Citrus romaine salad is a refreshing and healthy salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give this citrus romaine salad a try.
