PORTILLO'S CHOPPED SALAD (KINDA LIKE)



Portillo's Chopped Salad (Kinda Like) image

Portillo's is a Chicago institution, a hot dog stand that was started in 1963 by Dick Portillo's in a small trailer with no running water, and has now grown to 47 locations. Their chopped salad is famous. The Italian Dressing is from the Chicago Sun-Times. It is similar to the dressing found on salads at Portillo's and Maggiano's restaurants. Tip: If you make the dressing ahead of time and add a little bit to the cooled pasta and let it soak it up in the refrigerator for added flavor. Also, I believe chopped grilled chicken is in the original recipe.

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 cups cooked ditalini (cooked in salted water)
1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
3 cups chopped romaine lettuce
3 cups chopped iceberg lettuce
2 1/2 cups chopped red cabbage
2 fresh tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 cup sliced green onion
4 ounces crumbled gorgonzola (about 1 cup)

Steps:

  • To Make the Sweet Italian Dressing: Place vinegar, garlic, sugar, oregano, salt and pepper in a blender. While the machine is running, slowly drizzle olive oil through the blender top or feed tube until dressing is combined and emulsified. Store in airtight container in refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  • To Make The Chopped Salad: Cook ditalini pasta according to package instructions. Drain and cool. Set aside.
  • Cook bacon in a skillet until done. Let bacon cool, then crumble it.
  • Combine romaine, iceberg, red cabbage, tomatoes and green onions in large salad bowl.
  • Add cooled pasta, bacon and gorgonzola cheese to salad.
  • Add dressing to taste right before serving so that it doesn't get soggy.

  • DRESSING: Place all the dressing ingredients in a small blender jar. Blend until combined, creamy, and emulsified. Transfer dressing to a mason jar and store in the fridge until ready to eat. Shake up the dressing before dressing the salad.
  • COOK PASTA: Cook the pasta according to package directions to al dente. Make sure to generously salt the water; this is what will actually season the pasta! I add 1 teaspoon salt to every 4 cups of water. Drain and cool; run under cold water and shake off to dry. When dry, toss with a few tablespoons of the prepared dressing.
  • BACON AND CHICKEN: Cook bacon in a skillet or on an electric griddle. Remove, let cool slightly, and then chop coarsley. Chop a rotisserie chicken (or leftover grilled chicken) into small bite-sized pieces.
  • SALAD ASSEMBLY: In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, red cabbage, halved or quartered tomatoes, and thinly sliced green onions. Add in the cooled pasta, chopped bacon, and chopped chicken. Add gorgonzola cheese. If eating all of this salad, add dressing to desired preference (you may not use it all -- See Note 1) and toss to combine. If not, only dress what will be eaten; this salad doesn't sit well with the dressing.
