BASQUE SALAD



Basque Salad image

When I lived in Elko, Nevada, I dined at the local Basque houses quite regularly. The meals are served "family style" and every meal begins with soda bread, cabbage soup, and a green salad. I got this recipe from a former co-worker who use to work at one of the Basque houses, so it's a pretty authentic recipe. It is simple, but has a lot of flavor, especially if you like garlic! This salad is best served with chicken or steak.

Categories     Greens

Time 15m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 hard-boiled egg, finely chopped
salad greens (the Basque houses use only head luttuce, but you can use whatever salad greens you like)

Steps:

  • Mix all of the ingredients together.
  • Chill until ready to serve.
  • Lightly drizzle the dressing over fresh salad greens and toss until evenly coated.
  • It is a very strong and flavorful dressing, so you may want to play around with the amount of dressing you add to suit your personal taste.
  • Caution: Do not mix the salad dressing with the salad greens until you are ready to eat or the greens will wilt.

I lived in the Central Valley in California for many years which was one of the small handful of places in the U.S. where you could find authentic Basque food. This simple salad is wonderful after it has marinated for a couple of hours.

Normally I would use a 'bleu de Basque' cheese but the store was out of stock and I substituted Oregon made 'Smoky Bleu' cheese from Rogue Creamery.
