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.

CRUNCHY SPRING ICEBERG SALAD



Crunchy Spring Iceberg Salad image

A big plate of greens may feel virtuous, but this one is also luxurious. This is a very green salad, with chunks of crisp iceberg lettuce serving as a bed for briefly blanched peas and asparagus, topped with a cooling-yet-spicy cilantro yogurt. Tearing the iceberg into bite-size chunks makes this an easy-to-eat salad, no knife required. It's particularly great for outdoor dining or for those who need to eat with one hand. (We see you, new parents.) The feta adds lovely hints of tang and saltiness that work well with the herbaceous yogurt. The peas and asparagus bring freshness; you could also use other springtime staples such as snow peas, sugar snap peas or sliced radish. Serve with jammy boiled eggs for something heartier.

Categories     weekday, salads and dressings, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Salt and black pepper
2 cups frozen peas
16 to 20 asparagus spears, trimmed and sliced into 1-inch pieces (about 12 ounces)
1 (1½-pound) medium head iceberg lettuce
6 ounces feta, drained and broken into chunks
Handful of cilantro leaves, for serving
1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
1 cup chopped cilantro (leaves and tender stems from about ½ bunch)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Juice of ½ lemon or lime (1 to 2 tablespoons)
1 garlic clove, peeled and roughly chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
1 to 2 jalapeños or serrano chiles, trimmed and roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Prepare the salad: Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the frozen peas and asparagus, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the asparagus and peas are bright green and crisp tender. Drain and run under cold water until they are cold. Leave to drain.
  • Prepare the lettuce: Run a sharp paring knife around the core and gently pull it out. Remove the outer layer of the lettuce and discard. Tear the lettuce into large chunks. Wash the leaves and allow them to dry in a colander. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  • Prepare the spicy cilantro yogurt: To a blender or small food processor, add the yogurt, cilantro, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and 1 jalapeño. Blitz until smooth. (Add a teaspoon of water at a time to get the mixture moving in the blender if necessary.) Taste and add the second jalapeño if you would like it spicier.
  • Serve as one large salad or divide among four individual serving plates: Add the lettuce chunks to the plate, and scatter the asparagus and peas on top and around the lettuce. Spoon the spicy cilantro yogurt all over the vegetables, dot with feta and squeeze the juice from the lemon half over everything. Season with salt and black pepper, and top with a few cilantro leaves.
