MEDITERRANEAN SALAD



Mediterranean Salad image

THE TENDER FLAVOR OF BUTTER LETTUCE, often called Boston or bibb lettuce, is celebrated in this simple salad. We find locally grown butter lettuce from May through October, but it's also available year-round from slightly farther afield. Herbs, oranges, and olives complete this light and luscious salad.

Yield serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 20

4 sweet oranges, such as Caracara
1 teaspoon sugar
2 heads butter lettuce, core removed, leaves torn into bite-size pieces
1/4 cup chopped pitted green olives
2 plum tomatoes, chopped
2 green onions (white and green parts), chopped
1 cup Herbed Croutons (page 243) or store-bought croutons
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh basil
2 teaspoons roughly chopped fresh mint
Lemon Vinaigrette (recipe follows)
2 ounces hard cheese (page 23), thinly shaved, for garnish (1/2 cup)
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (1 to 2 lemons)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 3 cloves)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
(makes about 2/3 cup)

Steps:

  • Peel the oranges and separate them into segments. Mix the orange segments with the sugar in a large bowl and let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Combine the orange segments, lettuce, olives, tomatoes, green onions, croutons, basil, mint, and vinaigrette.
  • Divide the lettuce mixture evenly among chilled salad plates. Top each with cheese and freshly ground pepper to taste.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, basil, oregano, and olive oil. Taste for seasoning and add more salt and pepper, as needed.

MEDITERRANEAN SALAD



Mediterranean Salad image

Couscous is technically a pasta made from semolina, though many people consider it a grain. In southern Italy it is used often, a lasting memento of the Arabs that invaded Sicily in the ninth century. I particularly appreciate the way it cooks so quickly. This is a perfect side dish for large-scale entertaining because it doubles or even triples beautifully.

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1-pound box Israeli couscous (or any small pasta)
3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
Juice of 2 lemons
Zest of 1 lemon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted (see page 168)

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, warm the 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the couscous and cook until toasted and lightly browned, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Carefully add the broth and the juice of 1 lemon and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the couscous is tender, stirring occasionally, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain the couscous.
  • In a large bowl, toss the cooked couscous with the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil, the remaining lemon juice, the zest, salt, and pepper and let cool.
  • Once the couscous has cooled to room temperature, add the fresh herbs, dried cranberries, and almonds. Toss to combine.
