• Before serving, sprinkle the green and black olives, and bacon bits over the salad.

Steps:

• Place the mayonnaise, scallions, basil, lemon juice, garlic, anchovy paste, salt and pepper in a blender and blend until smooth. Add the sour cream and process just until blended. (If not using immediately, refrigerate the dressing until ready to serve.)
• Cut each head of lettuce into quarters, remove some of the cores, and arrange on 6 salad plates. Cut the tomatoes into wedges and add to the plates. Pour on the dressing and serve.

Steps:

• In salad bowl, layer tomatoes, hearts of palm, olives and feta.
• Using a mortar and pestle, mash the basil leaves and salt together. Add the pepper, olive oil and lime juice, mix well.
• Drizzle basil dressing over salad.

Steps:

• Bring stock to a boil in a medium saucepan.
• In a large pan, heat olive oil and butter over high heat. Add the onion and cook until it's transparent.
• Pour in the rice and stir for 1 minute; add the wine and stir until it's absorbed.
• Add the stock a 1/4 cup measure at a time, and stir constantly until it's absorbed. Repeat this step until the rice is al dente, or still a little bit hard.
• One minute before it's ready, add the hearts of palm and mix well.
• Remove from heat, add butter, parsley and cheese and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste, if desired. Risotto should be a little creamy, not dry.
• Serve immediately.
• *note: the hearts of palm need to be soft, because they don't cook long at all. If using canned and they are salty, rinse them. If they aren't soft or fresh, zap them in the microwave for 45 seconds on 500.

Steps:

• Whisk oil, basil and vinegar in medium bowl to blend. Add remaining ingredients and toss to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Let salad stand at room temperature at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.

• Put the dressing ingredients in a small jar with a fitted lid. Add some seasoning and shake well. Just before serving, pour the dressing over and mix.
