Greens Of The Wilderness Salad Recipes

CHOPPED GREEN SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Make the Homemade Italian Dressing.
• Chop romaine and lettuce. Thinly slice the shallot. Peel and chop cucumber. Slice tomatoes and olives in half.
• Mix together all the ingredients for the salad, including the dressing, and toss to combine. If making in advance, refrigerate the components separately; bring the dressing to room temperature before serving.

GREENS OF THE WILDERNESS SALAD

Steps:

• Tear the greens into bite-size pieces and drop them into a large salad bowl. Pour enough dressing over the salad to lightly coat the greens. Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary. Garnish with edible flowers, if one strives for fanciness.

TROPICAL GREENS SALAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, orange juice, shallot, salt and pepper. Drizzle in the olive oil, whisking constantly until emulsified.
• In a dry, heavy skillet, toast the pepitas over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, or until slightly puffed and golden. Add the soy sauce and stir to mix, then immediately remove from the heat and turn the pepitas out onto a plate to cool.
• Remove any tough stems from the arugula. Scoop out seeds from papaya, slice into eighths and pare off skin. Cut into julienne.
• In a large serving bowl, combine the arugula, papaya, Cabrales, and pomegranate seeds. Drizzle on enough vinaigrette to coat and toss gently. Sprinkle on the toasted pepitas and serve immediately.

EVERYDAY GREENS SALAD

Steps:

• For the vinaigrette:
• Combine oil, vinegars, mustard, and honey in a large resealable jar or airtight container; cover and shake vigorously until emulsified, about 30 seconds. Season with salt.
• Do Ahead: Vinaigrette can be made 1 month ahead. Cover and chill. Shake to re-emulsify.
• For the salad:
• Drizzle 3 Tbsp. vinaigrette into a large bowl, coating sides and bottom of bowl. Add greens and herbs (if using). Using your hands, fold greens, working from the bottom, out and up the sides of the bowl, until evenly coated in vinaigrette. Season with salt until greens taste vibrant (you may need to season and toss a few times). Mound salad, higher than wide, on plates or in shallow bowls.

GREEN GARDEN SALAD

Steps:
