Buttermilk Dressing Rachel Ray Food

BUFFALO CHICKEN AND BLUE RANCH STATEMENT SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Gather your ingredients.
• For the blue ranch: In a bowl, whisk up sour cream, buttermilk and juice of 1 lemon. Finely chop the herbs, peel and grate in garlic and add to dressing. Add salt and pepper. Taste dressing. Crumble the smoked blue cheese if using or just add the store-bought crumbles; stir in.
• For the buffalo chicken: Remove skin from chicken, remove the chicken from bones and pull, shred or chop into bite-size pieces. Heat a skillet over medium to medium-high heat and melt butter. When it foams, grate or chop the garlic and swirl in the butter for a minute. Add hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, chicken and stock and simmer until most of the liquids are absorbed. Remove from heat.
• For the salad: Core and chop iceberg lettuce and spread across a large cutting board. Chop romaine lettuce and scatter to combine with the iceberg lettuce. Arrange the chips on a tray and warm in oven 2 to 3 minutes. Thinly slice or cut radishes into matchsticks using a box grater or mandoline, and do the same with carrots. Thinly slice celery on bias and add all the vegetables to the salad.
• Top the salad with dressing, top the dressed greens with warm chips then with buffalo chicken and then top that with the scallions and pickled jalapenos.

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

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.

• Add the onion and garlic to the pan, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire and tomato sauce to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and bring up to a bubble. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the sauce until lightly thickened, 3-4 minutes.
