Layered Salad With Roasted Garlic Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• For the vinaigrette:
• Combine the garlic, vinegar, mustard, honey, lime juice and salt and pepper, to taste, in a blender and blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the oil until emulsified.
• For the salad:
• Place the frisee in a large bowl, add 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette, season with salt and pepper, to taste and toss to coat. Put the tomatoes in a bowl, add a few tablespoons of the dressing, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and toss to coat.
• Divide the frisee among 4 to 6 large plates, arrange 3 of the tomato quarters around the perimeter of each plate. Garnish with shaved cheese and chopped cilantro. Drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put squash, potatoes, carrots, brussels sprouts, celery root, and beets into a large bowl. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons oil, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; toss. Arrange vegetables in a single layer on 2 rimmed baking sheets (do not crowd). Roast 15 minutes.
• Toss leeks with remaining tablespoon oil. Add to roasting vegetables; continue to roast, tossing halfway through, until golden brown and tender, about 35 minutes more. Transfer sheets to wire racks; let cool slightly.
• Place greens on a platter; top with vegetables. Drizzle with warm dressing. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. To make Parmesan crisp: place 3-inch ring mold on baking sheet. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of shredded parmesan into mold. Repeat 3 more times so there are 4 separate parmesan disks. Lay out crisps on a foil covered pan. Place under broiler for 3 to 4 minutes watching carefully until Parmesan turns golden brown. Remove from broiler and let cool.
• In a blender combine Caesar dressing, roasted garlic cloves and mayonnaise. Blend on medium speed until creamy.
• In a large bowl, add romaine, 1/4 cup Parmesan and croutons. Toss with salad dressing.
• Carefully peel Parmesan crisps from foil.
• Serve on chilled plates with Parmesan crisps upright in salad.

Steps:

• Place eggs in a large saucepan and completely cover with water. Bring to a boil. Cover and remove from heat. Let stand for 12 minutes. Remove eggs and chill.
• In a 9x13 inch dish, layer the lettuce, onion, water chestnuts and peas.
• In a medium bowl combine the mayonnaise, sugar, seasoned salt and garlic powder. Mix until smooth. Spread over the top evenly over the top of the peas. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Peel and chop hard-cooked eggs.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wrap garlic in foil. Roast until very tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Let cool slightly. Can be refrigerated in an airtight container overnight.
• Cut the garlic head in half crosswise. Squeeze pulp into a small saucepan, and place over medium-low heat. Whisk in vinegar and rosemary. Gradually add oil, whisking constantly. Use immediately.

Steps:

• In an unoiled, small heavy skillet, roast the unpeeled garlic cloves on medium heat, turning them occasionally; cook the garlic for about 10-15 minutes, until it's soft and covered with dark spots.
• Test for doneness by pressing a clove with a spoon- if you see small bubbles of juice bursting through the skin, remove them from the skillet.
• When cool enough to handle, peel the cloves.
• In a blender or food processor, puree the garlic with the oil, vinegar, water, salt, pepper and mustard until smooth.
• covered and refrigerated, this dressing will keep for several weeks.

Steps:

• To Roast Garlic: Cut 1/4" off tops of garlic heads, drizzle with a little olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Wrap in foil and bake 45 minutes or until soft.
• Take baked garlic heads and squeeze out garlc into a small bowl. Mash until smooth.
• Combine all ingredients in a food processor(garlic through sea salt). Process until smooth. This will store in a fridge up to one week, but I always use it up in a few days. This goes great on salads(I like spinach salad with cucumber, and red pepper).
