CREOLE CAESAR SALAD WITH CORN BREAD CROUTONS



Creole Caesar Salad With Corn Bread Croutons image

My love for okra began as a child and continues to border on just this side of insanity. I love okra. As a young boy, I would smuggle a brown bag full of fried okra into the movies as my better-than-popcorn snack. On Sunday nights, I was famous for making fried okra and creamed corn sandwiches with fresh slices of tomato and loads of Duke's mayonnaise. Years later, while studying in Italy, I realized that Italians also took leftover vegetables and made sandwiches. All you need are cold vegetables, bread, and mayo. The Caesar salad treatment makes this lighter than a sandwich, although if you want to give it more heft, you can add shrimp, chicken, or duck.

Categories     Summer     Salad     Corn     Okra     Dinner

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

For the salad:
2 cups Fried Okra
2 heads romaine lettuce, leaves separated
1 cup cooked fresh corn kernels, chilled
2½ cups cubed corn bread, toasted
½ cup sliced grape tomatoes
½ cup sliced seedless cucumber
¼ cup sliced red onion
Creole Caesar Dressing (recipe follows)
For the Creole Caesar dressing:
⅔ cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, peeled
2 tablespoons chopped onion
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
½ roasted red bell pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped celery
1 teaspoon light brown sugar
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • For the salad:
  • Place half the fried okra in a large bowl and add the romaine, corn, corn bread, tomatoes, cucumber, and onion. Add the dressing and toss until well coated.
  • Divide the salad among six serving plates and top evenly with the remaining okra. Serve immediately.
  • For the Creole Caesar dressing:
  • In a small saucepan, combine the oil, garlic, and onion. Cook over low heat until the garlic and onion are golden and tender, about 15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the garlic and onion to a food processor; reserve the oil.
  • Add the vinegar, bell pepper, celery, sugar, cayenne, mayonnaise, Parmesan, and a pinch each of salt and black pepper to the food processor. Pulse until smooth. With the machine running, add the oil in a thin stream and process until emulsified. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Categories     side dish

Time 1h

Yield About 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pint oysters with their liquor
8 tablespoons butter
2 cups finely chopped onion
1 1/2 cups finely chopped celery with a few chopped leaves included

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your bread dressing will taste. This is especially true for the celery, onion, and bell pepper.
  • Don't overstuff the dressing: It's important to leave some room for the dressing to expand as it cooks. If you overstuff it, the dressing will be dense and dry.
  • Bake the dressing covered for the first 30 minutes: This will help to keep the dressing moist. After 30 minutes, you can uncover the dressing and continue baking until it is golden brown.
  • Let the dressing rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together and the dressing to firm up slightly.

Conclusion:

Creole bread dressing is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. Whether you like it spicy or mild, with or without meat, Creole bread dressing is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
