SIMPLE ROMAINE SALAD



Simple Romaine Salad image

This is a take on a very simple and delicious salad I had at a Greek restaurant in NYC. It's so easy and the end result is super satisfying. Of course you can add your favorite herbs and toppings. But we find the lightly dressed salad is amazing and a great accompaniment to meat. Sprinkle with the salt right before serving; that pop of flavor and crunch is so good. Finishing salt is a must for this salad.

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.

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     Cheese

Time 20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large romaine lettuce
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lime juice or 1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 very fresh egg
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 avocado
3 tablespoons grated fresh parmesan cheese
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
2 green onions, thinly sliced
2/3 cup seasoned croutons, purchased or homemade

Steps:

  • Tear lettuce into bite-size pieces, you should have about 12 cups.
  • Cover and refrigerate until well chilled.
  • Combine garlic and salt in a small bowl and mash with the back of a spoon into a paste, or (and this is what I do), mash with a mortar and pestle and transfer to a bowl.
  • Mix garlic paste with lime juice, add egg* and beat until foamy.
  • Stir in mayo and worcestershire.
  • This can be made ahead, just cover and refrigerate.
  • Just before serving, peel, pit and dice avocado.
  • In a large salad bowl, combine avocado, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, onions and croutons.
  • Stir dressing and pour over salad then toss until well mixed.
  • *If you are pregnant or nursing, or have a compromised immune system you may want to consider using a purchased pasteurized egg product.
