Romaine Salad With Vanilla Bean Dressing Recipes

ROMAINE SALAD WITH PARMESAN VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Whisk the Parmesan, mustard, vinegar and garlic in a small bowl. Whisk in the oil. Sprinkle the vinaigrette with salt and pepper. Toss the lettuce with the vinaigrette. Serve immediately.

ROMAINE SALAD WITH BREADCRUMBS AND SIMPLE DRESSING

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a bunch of grinds of pepper (about 20 grinds) and cook, stirring constantly, until the crumbs are golden brown, about 5 minutes. It's important to stir the whole time to make sure that they do not burn--which will happen if they sit too long in the skillet untouched. Once golden, immediately transfer them to a plate to cool and stop the cooking process. Set aside.
• Whisk the yogurt, mustard, Worcestershire, lemon zest and juice, garlic, 3 tablespoons water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and about 20 grinds of black pepper in a small bowl until smooth, creamy and combined.
• And add the romaine to a serving bowl. Sprinkle in 3/4 cup of the breadcrumbs, 3/4 cup of the Parmesan and the dressing and toss until the lettuce is nicely coated. Sprinkle the remaining breadcrumbs and Parmesan on top and serve immediately.

ROMAINE-HEART SALAD WITH CREAMY DRESSING

Steps:

• Make dressing: In a medium bowl, place sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and chili powder; season with salt and pepper. Whisk to combine.
• Remove dark outer leaves from each head of romaine, leaving the heart; place leaves in a plastic bag lined with a paper towel, and refrigerate to use later in Chopped Romaine Salad. Slice hearts in half lengthwise. Place one half on each plate; top with dressing. Sprinkle with scallions and serve.

ITALIAN ROMAINE & BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Toss lettuce, vegetables and chickpeas with dressing in large bowl.
• Top with cheese just before serving.

ROMAINE SALAD WITH BACON FAT DRESSING

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and let cool, then chop. Add the vinegar to the same skillet with the bacon fat, followed by the Dijon, maple syrup and a few turns of pepper. Whisk together, heating over medium heat until emulsified, then turn off the heat.
• To serve, place the romaine on a platter and sprinkle with the bacon, crumbled blue cheese and dried cherries. Drizzle with the warm bacon fat dressing and season with salt and pepper.

ROMAINE SALAD WITH CAESAR DRESSING

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, Parmesan cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper. (If mixture is too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons water.)
• Add lettuce; toss to coat with dressing. Top with shaved Parmesan, if desired.
