MEYER LEMON VINAIGRETTE



Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette image

When Meyer lemons are in season, typically between November and March, be sure to snag some up to make this lemon-Parmesan dressing. Meyer lemons are much less tart and acidic than traditional lemons, like a cross between a lemon and a mandarin. They're also sweeter, so no additional sugar is needed. I love this on kale salad, but also drizzled over roasted veggies or grilled salmon or trout.

ESCAROLE SALAD WITH ROAST LEMON CHICKEN, LARDONS, AND POACHED EGGS



Escarole Salad with Roast Lemon Chicken, Lardons, and Poached Eggs image

Moist chicken plays off the chewiness of the bacon, just as the cool greens contrast with the warm, silky poached egg in this main-dish salad. Using the pan juices from roast chicken in the vinaigrette adds depth and complexity. If forgoing the drippings, you will need an additional teaspoon of lemon juice and tablespoon of olive oil for the dressing.

Categories     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 pound piece slab bacon or thick-cut sliced bacon, cut into 1/4-by-1-inch pieces (lardons)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons pan juices from Roast Spatchcocked Lemon Chicken (or 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil)
1 head escarole, trimmed, leaves torn into large pieces, washed well, and spun dry (about 10 cups)
2 cups shredded chicken from Roast Spatchcocked Lemon Chicken
1 tablespoon white vinegar
4 large eggs
Fried lemon zest (see Cook's Note)

Steps:

  • Cook lardons in a skillet over medium heat until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate, and let cool completely.
  • Whisk together lemon juice, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in oil, then pan juices. Add escarole, chicken, and lardons, and toss to coat evenly. Divide among 4 plates.
  • Bring 1 1/2 inches water to a simmer in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in vinegar. Crack 1 egg into a small bowl. Holding bowl just above surface of water, gently pour egg into skillet. Repeat with remaining 3 eggs. Poach eggs, undisturbed, just until whites are firm and yolks are still runny, about 4 minutes (for firmer yolks, poach 1 to 2 minutes longer).
  • Carefully remove eggs from water with a slotted spoon, letting excess water drain off. Place 1 egg on top of each salad, and season with salt and pepper. Garnish with fried lemon zest, and serve immediately. Note: The eggs in this recipe are not fully cooked.

Time 35m

Yield 6 , 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

for the tomatoes
1 lb about 6 large plum tomato, each cut in 6 wedges
1 tablespoon olive oil
kosher salt & fresh ground pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon dried tarragon, fresh tarragon (or 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon )
for the warm white bean vinaigrette dressing
1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 garlic clove, halved
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt, to taste
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1/4 cup hot water
1 lb escarole mixed salad green, including radicchio, escarole, frisee, chicory and mache (or 2 lbs , the same lettuce in heads cleaned of damaged leaves, cored, washed and broken in bite-siz)
3 scallions, trimmed and sliced
2 ounces about 1/3 cup pitted black olives, quartered

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450°F
  • Toss the tomatoes and oil on a large sheet pan and season with salt and pepper, if desired. Roast for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with tarragon and cool. When just cool to the touch, lift carefully with a spatula to make sure the tomatoes are not sticking to the pan.
  • To make the dressing, purée all of the dressing ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth. Transfer to a skillet.
  • Toss the lettuces and scallions in a large mixing bowl.
  • Heat the dressing until simmering, stirring often; add more water if needed to keep it the texture of unbeaten cream. Toss the dressing with the lettuces. Mound on a large platter or on individual plates. Scatter the olives on top and arrange the roasted tomatoes decoratively on and around the salad.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh escarole that is crisp and brightly colored.
  • To remove any bitterness from the escarole, soak it in cold water for 10 minutes before using.
  • If you don't have Meyer lemons, you can use regular lemons instead. Just be sure to reduce the amount of lemon juice by half, as Meyer lemons are sweeter than regular lemons.
  • To make the vinaigrette, whisk all of the ingredients together until well combined. You can adjust the proportions of the ingredients to suit your own taste.
  • Serve the salad immediately after dressing it, as the escarole will wilt if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Escarole salad with roasted Meyer lemon vinaigrette is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for any occasion. The roasted Meyer lemons give the vinaigrette a unique and delicious flavor that complements the slightly bitter escarole. This salad is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, making it a healthy and delicious choice.
