Kittencal's Famous Greek Salad image

Be prepared for the best Greek salad on the planet! --- plan ahead the dressing needs at least 2 or more hours to blend the flavors, I sometimes add in 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese to the dressing for a more cheesy dressing, all amounts may be adjusted to taste ---- to marinade the salad allow to sit at room temperature before serving, see bottom of instructions --- you will find this and many more of my recipes posted here http://kittencalskitchen.com/2009/04/13/kittens-famous-greek-salad/ ---also see my recipe #359292

KITTENCAL'S MEDITERRANEAN-STYLE TAVERNA CHOPPED GREEK SALAD



Kittencal's Mediterranean-Style Taverna Chopped Greek Salad image

In Greece there are many recipes for this salad, if you love Mediterranean-style full-flavored salads then this is one I think you will really enjoy! You can omit the oil and red wine vinegar and just use the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes, but I like to add it in for extra flavor, use as much artichokes as you like, adjust all ingredients to taste, the oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes are what *makes* this salad so do not omit, also see my recipe#66596

KITTENCAL'S FAMOUS CAESAR SALAD



Kittencal's Famous Caesar Salad image

I developed this dressing years ago, and I can honestly say that you won't be able to keep your spoon out of the fridge for a taste, it is *that* good! --- although I do think the dressing is better with the anchovy it can certainly be made without them. In a pinch I have even substituted buttermilk for the half and half cream, just use about the same amount --- this dressing gets stronger with refrigeration time so a small amount of fresh garlic goes a long way! ---- usually one recipe without doubling is perfect for one large romaine lettuce, if you are serving a large crowd of people you might want to double -- salad dressing will not work for this use *only* mayonnaise, I find Hellman's brand mayonnaise works the best and for the perfect companion to this salad see my recipe#125034-------------LOWER-FAT OPTION use reduced fat mayonnaise and fat-free half and half or low-fat milk --- also see my recipe#66596

Categories     < 15 Mins

Time 5m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 large head romaine lettuce (washed over and thoroughly dried)
1 1/2 cups garlic-flavored croutons (or to taste, see Kittencal's Garlic Croutons)
parmesan cheese
freshly grated black pepper (to taste)
2 anchovy fillets (or to taste)
2 fresh garlic cloves (or to taste)
1 cup mayonnaise (not salad dressing Hellman's is best)
1/4 cup half-and-half cream or 1/4 cup milk
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (Hellman's Dijonnaise is best!)
salt and pepper
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (or to taste) (optional)
buttermilk or half-and-half, for thinning

Steps:

  • In a small 2-cup mini food processor, process/mince the anchovy fillets and garlic together until finely minced (do this together and firstly, otherwise it will not get minced properly with the other ingredients).
  • Add in the remaining ingredients, and process for 30 seconds, or more until well mixed.
  • Adjust seasonings to taste.
  • Thin with buttermilk (or milk) for a thinner consistency if desired.
  • Store in fridge, covered in a glass container for 3 or more hours before using (the flavors become stronger when left in the fridge for a longer time).
  • Toss desired amount of dressing with Romaine lettuce and croutons.
  • Sprinkle with more grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

KITTENCAL'S GREEK GARDEN SALAD WITH GREEK-STYLE DRESSING



Kittencal's Greek Garden Salad With Greek-Style Dressing image

All amounts may be adjusted to taste, the dressing amounts will yield just slightly over 1 cup and I strongly suggest to make the dressing in advance even better 24 hours ahead --- serve the salad with crusty bread on the side --- the dressing from my recipe#66596 also works well with this salad

KITTENCAL'S CREAMY ITALIAN SALAD DRESSING



Kittencal's Creamy Italian Salad Dressing image

This dressing must chill for 6 or more hours before serving don't even think about serving it right away as the flavors intensify with chilling time, even better if made a day ahead, I have left the Parmesan as optional you may add in or omit, you may adjust all amounts to taste.
