SALAD WITH CREAM DRESSING



Salad With Cream Dressing image

The inspiration for this salad that my wife prepares occasionally at home comes from the area of France where I was raised, near Lyon. It is always better done at home; the dressing lends itself to individual rather than high-volume preparation, and the delicacy required to properly clean and thoroughly dry the greens without bruising them is more easily achieved in the home kitchen. The salad should be cool but not ice cold, and should be tossed at the last minute, just before serving, especially if Boston or red-tipped leaf lettuce is used.

CREAMY, LEMONY, PEPPER-PARMESAN DRESSING ON ROMAINE LETTUCE SALAD



Creamy, Lemony, Pepper-Parmesan Dressing on Romaine Lettuce Salad image

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 heaping tablespoons mayonnaise
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 teaspoon coarse pepper, eyeball the amount in the palm of your hand: 1 teaspoon is equal to about 1/3 of a palm full
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Pinch salt
3 hearts romaine lettuce, chopped

Steps:

  • Combine the mayonnaise, lemon zest (grated yellow part of lemon) and lemon juice. To get the juice out of a lemon, heat it up in microwave for 10 seconds on high. Cut the lemon across in half. Squeeze the lemon halves while holding them upright over the dressing bowl so that the seeds stay with the lemon halves, not in the dressing! Add pepper to the dressing bowl, too. Whisk the dressing and pour in the extra-virgin olive oil while you whisk. If you pour in a slow, steady stream, 3 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil will pour out in a count to the number six. Once the oil is combined with the acid (the lemon juice) and the mayonnaise, you can switch utensils and stir in the cheese and a pinch of salt with a spoon or rubber spatula.
  • Chop up the lettuce into 2-inch pieces. Place the lettuce in a salad bowl and top with the dressing when you are ready to serve dinner.

CREAM DRESSING FOR LETTUCE SALAD - GERMAN DRESSING



Cream Dressing for Lettuce Salad - German Dressing image

Posting for ZWT 6 and another recipe from About.com for German recipes. Recipe states: Mix this salad dressing ("Salatsauce") in the bottom of the bowl and then add lettuce. Toss to coat and serve. I personally don't care for a too sweet salad dressing, so I would just but a teaspoon for us, but that is up to personal preference. Serve with any veggies of your choice along with the lettuce. Also add cheese of choice and croutons if you like and I personally would add garlic salt/powder.
