Ingredients

Dressing
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning*
1/4 teaspoon onion powder (if not already in Italian seasoning)
1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
1 to 2 teaspoons honey (or sub maple syrup if vegan)
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
salt and pepper to taste
Salad
2 heads romaine lettuce, chopped
1 15 ounce can quartered artichoke hearts
1 15 ounce can whole black olives
1 cup grape tomatoes
1/2 cucumber, sliced
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 to 3 pickled hot peppers (optional)

Steps:

Add all ingredients to a mason jar and shake until well combined, set aside. OR whisk all ingredients in a small mixing bowl.
Add all of the salad ingredients to a large miking bowl or serving bowl. To make it look pretty place all the lettuce in the bottom of the bowl and top with each veggie in sections.
Just before serving toss the salad with the dressing. The salad is best when fresh but if you have leftovers it can be stored without the dressing for up to 1 day in an air tight container in the fridge.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1 cup loosely packed fresh Italian parsley leaves
1 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
2 cloves garlic, peeled
¼ cup red wine vinegar, best quality such as Pompeian Gourmet
¾ cup extra virgin olive oil, best quality such as Lucini or Colavita
Heaping ¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1½ teaspoons honey
1 large head romaine lettuce (or 3 hearts), washed, dried and cut into large, bite-sized pieces
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
1 cup seeded and chopped hothouse cucumbers
1 to 2 carrots, peeled into ribbons
Handful grape tomatoes, halved
Handful pitted olives
Ricotta Salata (see note) or Feta, crumbled to taste

Steps:

Make the dressing: Combine all dressing ingredients in a food processor and blitz to blend.
Place all of the salad ingredients except for the cheese in a large bowl. Right before serving, add about half of the dressing and toss well. Add more dressing little by little as necessary; be sure to dress greens very generously, otherwise salad will be bland. Toss in the cheese, then taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary.
Note: Ricotta salata is an Italian sheep's milk cheese that has a salty, slightly tangy flavor, almost like a dry Italian feta. It is not the same as the wet ricotta in the tub. You can find it at Whole Foods, gourmet grocers or specialty cheese shops.
Note: Nutritional information was calculated assuming ½ cup of ricotta salata and all of the dressing was used.
