ROMAINE AND RADISH SALAD WITH BUTTERMILK LEMON DRESSING

Romaine and Radish Salad With Buttermilk Lemon Dressing image

Those of you who are getting loads of lettuce in your C.S.A. boxes may be tiring of salads, but this simple combination will never get old for me. Radishes look and taste beautiful against a romaine backdrop, and the creamy dressing is especially complementary. Radishes are rich in folic acid, vitamin C and anthocyanins, phytonutrients that are believed to have antioxidant properties.

CREAMY, LEMONY, PEPPER-PARMESAN DRESSING ON ROMAINE LETTUCE SALAD

Creamy, Lemony, Pepper-Parmesan Dressing on Romaine Lettuce Salad image

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories side-dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

3 heaping tablespoons mayonnaise
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 teaspoon coarse pepper, eyeball the amount in the palm of your hand: 1 teaspoon is equal to about 1/3 of a palm full
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Pinch salt
3 hearts romaine lettuce, chopped

Steps:

Combine the mayonnaise, lemon zest (grated yellow part of lemon) and lemon juice. To get the juice out of a lemon, heat it up in microwave for 10 seconds on high. Cut the lemon across in half. Squeeze the lemon halves while holding them upright over the dressing bowl so that the seeds stay with the lemon halves, not in the dressing! Add pepper to the dressing bowl, too. Whisk the dressing and pour in the extra-virgin olive oil while you whisk. If you pour in a slow, steady stream, 3 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil will pour out in a count to the number six. Once the oil is combined with the acid (the lemon juice) and the mayonnaise, you can switch utensils and stir in the cheese and a pinch of salt with a spoon or rubber spatula.
Chop up the lettuce into 2-inch pieces. Place the lettuce in a salad bowl and top with the dressing when you are ready to serve dinner.

ROMAINE SALAD WITH CREAMY GARLIC DRESSING

Romaine Salad with Creamy Garlic Dressing image

I wish I had a nickel for every time I was either asked to make this salad for a gathering, or asked for the recipe for it! The dressing is irresistable! A good description for this is a Caesar Salad gone balistic. It travels well too; I prepare all the ingredients, except the avocado, and pack in separate containers and just assemble it when I get to my destination. So much of this can be done ahead of time that it makes this recipe an excellent choice for a dinner party. Plan on having copies of the recipe available because you will be asked for them! I found this recipe in the Sunset CookBook of Favorite Recipes II.

Categories Salad Blender Side No-Cook Vegetarian Quick & Easy Lemon Cucumber Radish Fall Healthy Honey Sesame Soy Sauce Lettuce Gourmet Pescatarian Dairy Free Peanut Free Tree Nut Free Kosher

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

For tahini dressing
1/4 cup well-stirred tahini (Middle Eastern sesame paste)
1/4 cup water
2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon mild honey
1 small garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
For salad
1/2 pound romaine, torn into bite-size pieces (6 cups)
1 bunch radishes (1/2 pound), trimmed, halved, and thinly sliced (1 cup)
1/2 seedless cucumber (usually plastic-wrapped), halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
4 scallions, thinly sliced

Steps:

Make dressing:
Blend all dressing ingredients in a blender until smooth. (If desired, blend in more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, to thin dressing.)
Make salad:
Toss together all salad ingredients in a large bowl with just enough dressing to coat.

Tips:

Use fresh, crisp romaine lettuce and radishes for the best flavor and texture.
To make the buttermilk lemon dressing, use a good quality buttermilk. You can also substitute plain yogurt if you don't have buttermilk on hand.
If you don't have fresh dill, you can use dried dill weed. However, fresh dill will give the dressing a more pronounced flavor.
To make the salad ahead of time, prepare the dressing and chop the vegetables. Store them separately in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve. When you're ready to eat, toss the salad ingredients together and serve immediately.

Conclusion:

This romaine and radish salad with buttermilk lemon dressing is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The buttermilk lemon dressing is tangy and creamy, and it pairs perfectly with the crisp romaine lettuce and radishes. This salad is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, potassium, and fiber.
