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.

Provided by januarybride

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup tahini
2 room temperature lemons, juice of
1 minced garlic clove (I add 4 myself)
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1 pinch cayenne pepper (I add 2 pinches then put some on top too)
fresh ground pepper
water (optional)
2 cucumbers

Steps:

  • Stir the tahini and lemon juice together until well blended. Add the rest of the ingredients except the cucumbers and stir to blend.
  • Allow the mixture to stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes. (If you put it in the refrigerator, it will thicken up). If it is too thick to pour, you can use it as a dip for the cucumbers OR you can thin it out with room temperature water (NOT cold) which is what I do.
  • Peel the cucumbers and slice them into rounds. Put them in a large bowl and pour the dressing over them. Toss to coat.

Provided by blucoat

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 large head romaine lettuce, blemished outer leaves removed
1 English cucumber
1/2-3/4 cup walnut halves, lightly toasted (optional)
1 cup roughly chopped arugula, washed and dried well (about 1 small bunch)
1 tablespoon chopped flat leaf parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1 tablespoon chopped of fresh mint
1/4 teaspoon aleppo chile
salt & fresh ground pepper
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic (about 2 large cloves)
2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon)
1 tablespoon champagne vinegar (avoid acidic brands like Heinz) or 1 tablespoon chardonnay vinegar (avoid acidic brands like Heinz)
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
salt & fresh ground pepper
1/2 cup whole-milk plain yogurt or 1/2 cup sheep's-milk yogurt
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Wash and dry the romaine leaves. Be careful to dry the greens thoroughly, or the dressing won't cling. Chop the romaine into fine shreds (1/4 inch) and place them in a large salad bowl.
  • Peel the cucumber and cut it in half lengthwise. Spoon out the seeds. Cut each half in half widthwise, making four long pieces, and grate the cucumber on the large holes of a box grater. Squeeze out any excess water with your hands.
  • Add the shredded cucumber to the chopped romaine. Combine the romaine and cucumber with the walnuts, chopped arugula, and herbs, and set aside or keep cold until you're ready to toss and serve.
  • Make the dressing by combining the minced garlic with the lemon, vinegar, and sugar in a small mixing bowl. Let this mixture sit for at least 10 minutes to soften the sharpness of the raw garlic.
  • Finish the dressing by whisking in the yogurt and then the olive oil, little by little. Season to taste with salt and fresh-ground pepper.
  • Just before serving, add half the dressing to the salad, salt and pepper taste, and toss. Romaine is thick and crunchy and needs more dressing than a delicate lettuce. Taste the salad, and if the dressing's too light, spoon on more. Sprinkle with chilies and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To save time, use a mandoline or food processor to thinly slice the romaine lettuce, radishes, and cucumbers.
  • If you don't have tahini on hand, you can use another creamy nut butter, such as almond butter or cashew butter.
  • To make the dressing ahead of time, whisk all of the ingredients together and store it in a jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a more flavorful salad, roast the radishes before adding them to the salad.
  • Toasted nuts or seeds add a nice crunch to this salad. Try walnuts, almonds, pecans, or sunflower seeds.

Conclusion:

This romaine radish and cucumber salad with tahini dressing is a healthy and refreshing side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. The tahini dressing is creamy and flavorful, and the radishes and cucumbers add a nice crunch. This salad is also very easy to make, and it can be made ahead of time.
