Technicolored Romaine Salad Cups With Lemon Pecorino Dressing Recipes

CRUNCHY ROMAINE SALAD

Steps:

• Combine sugar, oil, vinegar, soy sauce, salt, and pepper in a jar with a tight-fitting lid; shake until well blended. Break ramen noodles into small pieces, discarding flavor packet.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir noodles and pecans until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels and allow to cool.
• Combine noodles, pecans, broccoli, romaine lettuce, and green onions in a bowl; toss gently. Dress with 1 cup, or more, of dressing; toss to coat.

FETA ROMAINE SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk the remaining ingredients. Drizzle over salad; toss to coat. Serve immediately.

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

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.

ROMAINE SALAD WITH LEMON-CUMIN DRESSING

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, cumin, salt and pepper. Very slowly whisk in the oil. Place the lettuce in a large salad bowl and toss with the dressing.

ROMAINE SALAD WITH RYE CRISPS AND LEMON-PECORINO VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Make the rye crisps:
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
• In a food processor, pulse the bread until coarse crumbs form. Spread the crumbs on a baking sheet and toss them with the oil, garlic, herbs, and a pinch of salt until evenly coated. Roast the crumbs, tossing occasionally, until they're golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Once cooled, the rye crisps can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
• Make the vinaigrette:
• In a mini food processor, pulse all of the ingredients together until they're well combined and the dressing has emulsified. (You can also whisk the dressing by hand.)
• Make the salad:
• Place the lettuce leaves in a large bowl and scatter them with the torn mint. Pour about 3/4 cup (180 ml) of the vinaigrette over the leaves, gently tossing until well coated, adding more dressing if needed. Transfer the salad to a platter and, using a fine grater, grate on additional cheese. Scatter with the rye crisps and remaining mint, and finish with freshly cracked pepper.

ROMAINE SALAD WITH PROSCIUTTO CRISPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400.
• Lightly brush a biking sheet with jolive oil, and arrange prosciutto in a single layer. Place in oven and bake until crisp, 5-10 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool on a wire rack.
• Combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and thyme, season with salt and pepper and whisk to combine. Add romaine and shaved Pecorino Romano, and toss to combine. Serve topped with prosciutto crisps.
