ROMAINE SALAD WITH RYE CRISPS AND LEMON-PECORINO VINAIGRETTE



Romaine Salad with Rye Crisps and Lemon-Pecorino Vinaigrette image

This is the recipe that got my salad-phobic son to change his tune. A few years ago, we were at Roberta's-the beloved Brooklyn pizza mecca-on a Sunday afternoon and ordered a crunchy romaine salad doused in rich, lemony dressing. Convinced that he'd love it if he only gave it a try, I bribed Jivan into tasting it. (He'd been begging for a guitar.) Poor parenting, perhaps, but it worked! Now he gobbles it up every time I serve it, as does everyone else at the table. This recipe makes much more vinaigrette than you'll need, and that's not an accident. Once you taste it, you'll want a mason jar full of it in your fridge at all times. It keeps for at least a week.

Number Of Ingredients 18

For the rye crisps:
4 or 5 slices day-old rye bread, cut into 1/4-inch (6-mm) cubes
1/4 cup (60 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
A few sprigs fresh thyme or rosemary
Pinch kosher salt
For the vinaigrette:
2/3 cup (65 g) grated Pecorino-Romano cheese, plus more for serving
1/3 cup (75 ml) Champagne vinegar
1/3 cup (75 ml) fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly cracked pepper, plus more for serving
1 1/2 cups (360 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
For the salad:
3 romaine hearts, ends trimmed, leaves separated, washed, and dried
1 large handful fresh mint leaves, roughly torn, some reserved for serving

Steps:

  • Make the rye crisps:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a food processor, pulse the bread until coarse crumbs form. Spread the crumbs on a baking sheet and toss them with the oil, garlic, herbs, and a pinch of salt until evenly coated. Roast the crumbs, tossing occasionally, until they're golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Once cooled, the rye crisps can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
  • Make the vinaigrette:
  • In a mini food processor, pulse all of the ingredients together until they're well combined and the dressing has emulsified. (You can also whisk the dressing by hand.)
  • Make the salad:
  • Place the lettuce leaves in a large bowl and scatter them with the torn mint. Pour about 3/4 cup (180 ml) of the vinaigrette over the leaves, gently tossing until well coated, adding more dressing if needed. Transfer the salad to a platter and, using a fine grater, grate on additional cheese. Scatter with the rye crisps and remaining mint, and finish with freshly cracked pepper.

Provided by By Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Side Dish

Time 20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 or 2 medium lemons
2 cloves garlic or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 large bunch or 2 small bunches romaine lettuce
1 small red onion
1 cup pitted kalamata olives or pitted jumbo ripe olives
1 jar (6 oz) marinated artichoke hearts, undrained
1/2 cup seasoned croutons
1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Roll each lemon on the countertop with the palm of your hand, using gentle pressure (this will help release the juices). Cut 1 lemon in half; squeeze juice from each half. Use enough lemons until you have 1/4 cup lemon juice. Peel and finely chop the garlic. In a tightly covered jar or container, shake lemon juice, garlic, oil, salt and pepper.
  • Remove any limp outer leaves from the romaine and discard. Break remaining leaves off the core; rinse with cool water. Shake off excess water and blot to dry, or roll up the leaves in a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to dry. Tear the leaves into bite-size pieces. You will need about 10 cups of romaine pieces.
  • Peel the onion; slice onion and separate into rings.
  • In a large glass or plastic bowl, place the romaine, onion, olives and artichoke hearts (with liquid). Shake the vinaigrette again to mix ingredients. Pour vinaigrette over the salad ingredients, and toss with 2 large spoons or salad tongs until evenly coated.
  • Sprinkle the croutons and cheese over the salad. Serve immediately.
