This jazzed-up romaine salad with homemade croutons is loaded with flavor. Curry powder gives the dressing zip, while crumbled blue cheese adds richness. Ingredients:
4 teaspoons olive oil |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
3 slices italian bread (3/4 inch thick), cubed |
2/3 cup mayonnaise |
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons buttermilk |
4 teaspoons grated parmesan cheese |
1-1/2 teaspoons onion soup mix |
1/8 teaspoon curry powder |
1/8 teaspoon anchovy paste |
8 cups torn romaine |
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese |
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine oil and garlic powder. Add bread cubes; toss to coat. Arrange in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 325° for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
2. For salad dressing, in a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, buttermilk, grated Parmesan cheese, soup mix, curry and anchovy paste. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
