Romaine Salad With Breadcrumbs And Simple Dressing Food

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.

CREAMY DRESSING FOR A SIMPLE ROMAINE SALAD

Creamy Dressing for a Simple Romaine Salad image

This is a great dressing for crispy romaine, but is great on any greens.I make a salad with crisp romaine, thinly sliced red onion and some crunchy homemade croutions that have been sprinkled with Parmesan cheese as soon as they come out of the deep fryer. Very delish! This can be doubled, or made to accommodate a larger group of people. I serve this salad dressing on the side. You may use ready made croutons, or make them yourself.

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.

Steps:

Tear lettuce into bite-size pieces, you should have about 12 cups.

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.
