This is such an elegant salad. It will dress up any table. The caramelized onion in the dressing tastes fantastic. It's never failed to be a hit whenever I've served it. Ingredients:
1 large onion, peeled and cut into eighths |
8 tablespoons olive oil, divided |
1-1/2 teaspoons sugar |
1/4 cup chicken broth |
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
14 cups torn salad greens |
1 cup chopped walnuts, toasted |
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion |
Directions:
1. Place onion in a baking dish. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil; sprinkle with sugar. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 30 minutes. Turn and bake 25-30 minutes longer, stirring several times, until the onion is tender and lightly browned. Cool for 30 minutes.
2. Place onion in a blender or food processor; add broth, vinegar, salt and remaining oil. Cover and process until smooth (mixture will be thick). Chill.
3. Just before serving, toss greens, walnuts, red onion and dressing in a large salad bowl. Yield: 12 servings.
