Green Salad With Dressing Recipes

• Whisk together first four ingredients; gradually whisk in oils and, if desired, salt until blended. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes., In a large bowl, toss together salad ingredients; refrigerate, covered, until serving. Serve with dressing, stirring to recombine if needed.

Steps:

• For the salad: Layer the salad ingredients in a large salad bowl, beginning with the lettuce, then adding the tomatoes, bell pepper and onion.
• For the French dressing: Put the vinegar, sugar, mustard, onion, paprika, salt and 1/2 cup water in a blender and process until well blended. While the blender is running, slowly stream in the oil. Chill in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
• When ready to serve, pour some of the dressing over the salad and toss.

Steps:

• In a jar or bottle with tight-fitting lid, combine all the dressing ingredients; shake well. Chill. Just before serving, combine greens, onion, cucumber and tomatoes in a large salad bowl. Pour desired amount of dressing over salad; toss to mix. Top with the green pepper rings.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Make the croutons: Toss the bread cubes with 1 tablespoon olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Bake until golden, about 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the dressing: Heat the remaining 1/3 cup olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and tomatoes and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
• Toss the lettuce in a large bowl. Pour the warm dressing on top, add the croutons and gently toss. Top with the blue cheese.

Steps:

• Place the cheese, mayonnaise, heavy cream, vinegar, salt and pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Process until smooth.
• Place a wedge of lettuce on each serving plate with 2 slices of tomato. Pour enough dressing over the lettuce to moisten. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Puree 2 scallions, 1/2 garlic clove, 1/4 cup each buttermilk and plain yogurt, 2 teaspoons rice vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon each sugar and salt in a blender. Toss 2 heads butter lettuce, 1/2 cup shredded carrots, some fresh cilantro and parsley, and the dressing in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Separate the lettuce leaves, removing and discarding damaged or wilted areas, and break or cut them into 2-inch pieces. (There should be about eight loose cups.) Wash the lettuce in a basin of cool water, drain and dry thoroughly, preferably in a salad spinner, so no water remains.
• Place all the dressing ingredients in a bowl large enough to hold the salad greens, and whisk briefly to mix but not to emulsify.
• Add the greens, and toss well. Serve with the Cornish hens.
