This is an old fashioned salad that I found years ago and have been serving with cajun food. It should be made at least 3-4 hours in advance so the flavors can all meld together. The lettuce stays crisp and the dressing and tomatoes create a nice sauce that is good sopped up with french bread.

Tips:

  • Soak the vegetables: Soaking the vegetables in ice water for 30 minutes before assembling the salad will help them stay crisp and prevent them from wilting.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: The olive oil you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad. Choose a good quality extra virgin olive oil that has a fruity flavor.
  • Season the salad to taste: Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs, to taste.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Soaked salads are best served immediately after they are made. This will prevent the vegetables from wilting and the salad from losing its flavor.

New Orleans Soaked Salad is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for a summer meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its crisp vegetables, tangy dressing, and flavorful seasonings, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
