Windsor Court Salad image

"This is the best house salad being served in New Orleans. It is presented beautifully, with multi-color layers in a glass bowl. It is something like the classic Cobb salad, but without the chicken." An old article from Inside New Orleans Restaurant section.

Time 15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 head romaine lettuce
2 bunches watercress
2 hard-boiled eggs (whites and yolks separated)
6 radishes
2 ounces Roquefort cheese
2 large tomatoes
4 slices crisp bacon
1 large ripe avocado
1 raw egg yolk
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1 french shallot, chopped
2 tablespoons bottled chili sauce (next to the catsup at the market)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Chop all the above ingredients separately. (Do not use a food processor for the lettuce, as it bruises the greens and gives it a funny taste.)
  • Put each ingredient in a vertical layer in a glass bowl.
  • It's colorful and dramatic, so show the finished salad to your guests before tossing the salad with Sauce Lorenzo.
  • Lightly beat together the egg yolk and Dijon mustard.
  • Beating quickly, alternately add the oil and the wine vinegar in a steady stream to form an emulsion. Season with chopped shallots, chili sauce, salt and pepper.
