I ordered this salad at a restaurant. The kitchen staff wouldn't share the salad dressing recipe, so I created my own. It took several tries, using different spices and vinegars, but this is close. Adding the bacon was my idea. Ingredients:
8 cups torn leaf lettuce |
10 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled |
6 green onions, thinly sliced |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese |
1 jar (2 ounces) diced pimientos, drained |
1/2 cup olive oil |
1/4 cup apple cider or juice |
7-1/2 teaspoons sugar |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper |
1 cup salad croutons |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, bacon, onions, cheeses and pimientos.
2. In a small bowl, whisk the oil, cider, sugar, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Pour over salad; toss to coat. Sprinkle with croutons. Yield: 8 servings.
