LEMON-CAPER DRESSING



Lemon-Caper Dressing image

Here's a salad dressing that falls somewhere between special-occasion Caesar and "toss lemon juice and olive oil onto lettuce." By adding a craggy paste of capers and garlic and a pouf of shaved Parmesan to the lemon and olive oil, you get a puckery, salty mix that's packed with umami, just like Caesar, but isn't weighed down by mayonnaise or egg yolks. It works great on arugula, Romaine, kale or radicchio; steamed or roasted vegetables; hard-boiled eggs; and even grains. The recipe developer's mom has been feeding her this dressing since she could chew. Ali adds a bit more garlic and lemon than what you'll find here, so adjust it until it tastes good to you.

Time 5m

Yield 1/2 cup

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 medium garlic clove
Black pepper (about 1/4 teaspoon)
1 teaspoon capers (about 18)
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
5 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • On a cutting board, smash and coarsely mince the garlic. Add 10 grinds of fresh pepper and the capers to the garlic. Chop and press down on the mixture with the side of your knife until a coarse paste forms.
  • Transfer the paste to a bowl, then stir in the lemon juice, followed by the Parmesan. Slowly add in the olive oil, stirring until emulsified. Taste on a lettuce leaf (or whatever you're dressing) and adjust as needed with acid (lemon), fat (olive oil), and salt (capers and cheese).

Tips for a Perfect Lettuce Salad with Caper Vinaigrette:

  • Choose the Right Lettuce: Opt for fresh, crisp varieties like romaine, butterhead, or Bibb lettuce. Remove any wilted or bruised leaves.
  • Wash the Lettuce Thoroughly: Rinse the lettuce leaves under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or salad spinner to prevent dilution of the dressing.
  • Make the Dressing in Advance: Prepare the caper vinaigrette ahead of time to allow the flavors to meld. This also gives the dressing time to chill, resulting in a more refreshing taste.
  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: Choose flavorful capers, good quality olive oil, and fresh herbs for the vinaigrette. The better the ingredients, the tastier the salad will be.
  • Toss the Salad Gently: When combining the lettuce and dressing, use a light hand to prevent bruising the leaves. Toss the salad just until the leaves are evenly coated.
  • Serve Immediately: Lettuce salad is best enjoyed fresh. Once dressed, serve the salad promptly to maintain its crisp texture and vibrant flavors.
