Iceberg Wedge Salad With Green Goddess Ranch Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• Make the dressing: Combine the watercress, parsley, chervil, tarragon, chives, capers, anchovies, garlic, scallions and sugar in a blender or food processor.
• Add the lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, mayonnaise and avocado and puree until pale green and very smooth; if too thick, thin with water 1 teaspoon at a time. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
• Make the salad: Cook the bacon in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until browned and crisp, turning, about 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate, then crumble.
• Arrange the iceberg lettuce wedges on a platter and season with salt and pepper. Spoon some dressing over the lettuce. Top with the diced avocado, bacon, chervil, chives and scallions.

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, and gorgonzola. Using a wooden spoon, stir the mixture to combine the cheese through the mixture. Loosen up the mix with the buttermilk, a tablespoon at a time, until it comes to a salad dressing consistency. Season the mix with salt, and pepper, to taste. Stir in the fresh herbs.
• Place a wedge of lettuce on a plate, coat liberally with the blue cheese dressing, and crumble some cooked bacon on top of the dressing. Dress each plate with 2 halved tomatoes, some blue cheese, and season with a little bit of salt and pepper.

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine avocado cubes, lemon or lime juice, basil, tarragon, garlic, and asorbic acid. Blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly pour in olive oil to make a thick, creamy dressing. If dressing is too thick to pour, add water, a few tablespoons at a time, to reach the desired consistency. Pour into a bowl, season, to taste, with salt and pepper and cover. Refrigerate until chilled.
• To serve, pour dressing over iceberg wedges.

Steps:

• Remove outer leaves of lettuce and wash thoroughly in cold water. Drain and pat dry with paper towels then split into wedges and arrange on plates. Scatter grape tomato halves over and around the lettuce.
• Make dressing by combining mayonnaise and sour cream in a large mixing bowl. Squeeze in fresh lemon juice, fold in blue cheese and chives and season with salt and pepper. Pour dressing over wedge and grape tomatoes. Drizzle with a little extra-virgin olive oil and top with chives.
