Time 40m

Yield Six servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 pounds small red potatoes (about 10 to 12), peeled or unpeeled as desired
3 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 cup pecans, broken into pieces
10 ounces mushrooms, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 3 1/2 cups sliced)
About 10 scallions, dark green and damaged leaves removed, cleaned and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise
5 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
3 tablespoons dry white wine or water
8 ounces sliced ham, cut into a fine julienne (2 1/4 cups)
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into a fine julienne (2 1/2 cups)
6 to 8 cups romaine lettuce, leaves cut into 2-inch pieces and thoroughly washed and dried

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat, cover and boil gently for 20 to 25 minutes, or until tender.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the nuts and mushrooms and saute over medium-to-high heat for 5 minutes, until both are nicely browned. Add the scallions and oregano and saute for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a salad bowl and add the salt, pepper and dressing ingredients.
  • Drain the cooked potatoes and, when just cool enough to handle, cut into 3/4-inch pieces. add the warm potatoes to the salad bowl and toss with the dressing, mushrooms and nuts. In a separate bowl, mix together the juliennes of ham and cheese.
  • Divide the lettuce among six plates. Spoon the potato mixture on top and garnish with the ham and cheese. Serve immediately.
