Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Salads

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

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.

Italian Romaine Salad image

Looking for a salad to compliment your Italian dinner? Then check out this salad made with romaine lettuce, olives and artichoke tossed with prepared lemon vinaigrette - flavorful crunchy side dish ready in 20 minutes!

Provided by By Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Side Dish

Time 20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 or 2 medium lemons
2 cloves garlic or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 large bunch or 2 small bunches romaine lettuce
1 small red onion
1 cup pitted kalamata olives or pitted jumbo ripe olives
1 jar (6 oz) marinated artichoke hearts, undrained
1/2 cup seasoned croutons
1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Roll each lemon on the countertop with the palm of your hand, using gentle pressure (this will help release the juices). Cut 1 lemon in half; squeeze juice from each half. Use enough lemons until you have 1/4 cup lemon juice. Peel and finely chop the garlic. In a tightly covered jar or container, shake lemon juice, garlic, oil, salt and pepper.
  • Remove any limp outer leaves from the romaine and discard. Break remaining leaves off the core; rinse with cool water. Shake off excess water and blot to dry, or roll up the leaves in a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to dry. Tear the leaves into bite-size pieces. You will need about 10 cups of romaine pieces.
  • Peel the onion; slice onion and separate into rings.
  • In a large glass or plastic bowl, place the romaine, onion, olives and artichoke hearts (with liquid). Shake the vinaigrette again to mix ingredients. Pour vinaigrette over the salad ingredients, and toss with 2 large spoons or salad tongs until evenly coated.
  • Sprinkle the croutons and cheese over the salad. Serve immediately.

  • Tossed Green Salad With Garlic Croutons. Salad greens? Check. Garlic herb croutons made from scratch? Easy vinaigrette dressing? Once you've learned the basics of making this must-know tossed green salad, you'll find yourself mixing it up again and again.
  • Daikon and Cucumber Sunomono Salad. Sunomono is the Japanese name for a light, refreshing, sweet, sour, crunchy cucumber salad. It is a popular, palate-cleansing appetizer in Japanese households and restaurants alike, and is a cinch to throw together right before the dinner hour.
  • Kachumber (Indian Cucumber Salad) Cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions are a popular salad combination in many countries. In India, the refreshing trio is known as kachumber.
  • Wedge Salad. Classic wedge salad is the perfect starter or side for romantic steak dinners and multi-course meals. A cold, refreshing wedge of iceberg lettuce topped with tangy, creamy blue cheese dressing, crumbled bacon, diced tomatoes, and pickled onions, it is elegant in its simplicity and offers balance to meaty mains.
  • Panzanella Salad. Many cultures around the world have creative ways to use up old bread. The Italians of Tuscany invented panzanella salad, which turns going-stale Italian bread into deliciously crunchy croutons and combines them with fresh salad vegetables in a lemony vinaigrette dressing.
  • Caesar Salad. Every home cook needs to know how to whip up a Caesar salad. There's so much to love about this classic salad that tops crispy romaine lettuce leaves with soft-cooked eggs, crispy bacon, crunchy croutons, Parmesan cheese, and the famous Caesar dressing we have all come to know and love.
  • Salmon Skin Salad. When you poach salmon fillets, save the leftover skin for this popular Japanese restaurant-style salad that uses crispy salmon skin much like an American salad might include bacon bits.
  • Fig and Kale Salad. Tender, ripe figs bring their wonderful, honeyed fruit flavor to this healthy kale and mixed greens salad. With chunks of ripe, creamy avocado, slender zucchini ribbons, and sweet shredded carrot, it is an easy and delicious way to get in your superfoods.
  • Greek Salad. Everyone knows the iconic Greek salad with feta cheese and olives, which has traveled far from its Mediterranean home to conquer salad bars worldwide.
  • French Bistro Salad With Warm Goat Cheese Croutes. If you think goat cheese always needs to be crumbled, this French bistro-style salad will make you see this dairy ingredient in a whole new way.

  • Creamy Polenta. Polenta is a popular side dish in northern Italy, where it is often made to accompany meat dishes in place of pasta. It can also be cooled, then sliced and fried, grilled, or baked.
  • Caprese Salad. With fresh, ripe, red tomatoes, aromatic basil leaves, and slabs of soft, fresh mozzarella cheese, the famous tricolor caprese salad is like Italy on a plate.
  • Caponata alla Siciliana. Caponata is an eggplant-based stewed vegetable delight that is the Sicilian cousin of traditional French ratatouille. Similar to Sicilian pasta recipes, caponata includes salty, briny ingredients such as capers and green olives for a regional flavor profile that is instantly recognizable.
  • Tuscan Focaccia Bread. Focaccia is a much-loved, olive oil-soaked flatbread from northern Italy. Light and airy with a soft and tender crumb, it is often scattered with dried rosemary.
  • Panzanella Salad. Faced with a loaf of bread going stale on the counter, Italians will make panzanella salad. This popular side dish or starter is a great way to use day-old bread, which is transformed into seasoned croutons for tossing with fresh salad vegetables and herbs.
  • Perfect Grilled Eggplant. Luscious, creamy-tasting grilled eggplant, with crispy bits around the edges, is a yummy addition to antipasto platters and goes great with grilled lamb chops.
  • Burrata Salad. With the sweet grilled nectarines, ripe cherry tomatoes, ultra-creamy Italian burrata cheese, fresh salad greens, and an herbaceous pesto dressing, this stunning salad is endlessly exciting.
  • Roasted Broccoli Rabe. Roasting stalks of green broccoli rabe (also called rapini) with good-quality olive oil makes the ends crisp and enhances the natural bitterness in this vegetable that is prized by Italians.
  • Baked Polenta with Parmesan Cheese. Baking polenta gives it a firmer, crispier texture than the stovetop kind that makes a perfect replacement for rice or potatoes.
  • Buttery Garlic Bread. Garlic bread may rank as the OG Italian side dish for a reason. It just doesn't get any better than a crispy, buttery, pungent loaf.
