It's a cinch to mix this zesty salad together for a potluck. It'll feed a crowd and then some. For a lighter version, I use less oil and a sugar substitute for the dressing and toss in turkey bacon. Ingredients:
1 bunch romaine (1 pound), torn |
1/2 pound sliced bacon, cooked and crumbled |
1 jar (7-1/2 ounces) marinated artichoke hearts, drained and sliced |
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese |
1/2 cup sliced celery |
1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper |
1/2 cup chopped sweet yellow pepper |
3 tablespoons cider vinegar |
2 tablespoons chopped onion |
2 teaspoons brown sugar |
2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
2 tablespoons canola oil |
Directions:
1. In a large salad bowl, combine the romaine, bacon, artichoke hearts, cheese, celery and sweet peppers. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
2. In a blender or food processor, combine the vinegar, onion, brown sugar, mustard, salt and pepper; cover and process until smooth. While processing, add oil in a steady stream; blend until thickened. Drizzle over salad; toss gently to coat. Serve immediately. Yield: 10-12 servings.
