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.
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.

CABBAGE SALAD WITH LEMON-GARLIC DRESSING

Cabbage Salad with Lemon-Garlic Dressing image

This recipe was given me by my aunt, who loves Mediterranean cooking. A delicious, refreshing salad made from shredded cabbage and a dressing made from lemon, garlic, olive oil, and cilantro. The proportions I listed will at least start you out with a dressing that's not too strong, but feel free to play around with them. This salad is more of an art than a science.
