Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 17

Dressing
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning*
1/4 teaspoon onion powder (if not already in Italian seasoning)
1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
1 to 2 teaspoons honey (or sub maple syrup if vegan)
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
salt and pepper to taste
Salad
2 heads romaine lettuce, chopped
1 15 ounce can quartered artichoke hearts
1 15 ounce can whole black olives
1 cup grape tomatoes
1/2 cucumber, sliced
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 to 3 pickled hot peppers (optional)

Steps:

  • Add all ingredients to a mason jar and shake until well combined, set aside. OR whisk all ingredients in a small mixing bowl.
  • Add all of the salad ingredients to a large miking bowl or serving bowl. To make it look pretty place all the lettuce in the bottom of the bowl and top with each veggie in sections.
  • Just before serving toss the salad with the dressing. The salad is best when fresh but if you have leftovers it can be stored without the dressing for up to 1 day in an air tight container in the fridge.

Categories     Salads

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup loosely packed fresh Italian parsley leaves
1 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
2 cloves garlic, peeled
¼ cup red wine vinegar, best quality such as Pompeian Gourmet
¾ cup extra virgin olive oil, best quality such as Lucini or Colavita
Heaping ¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1½ teaspoons honey
1 large head romaine lettuce (or 3 hearts), washed, dried and cut into large, bite-sized pieces
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
1 cup seeded and chopped hothouse cucumbers
1 to 2 carrots, peeled into ribbons
Handful grape tomatoes, halved
Handful pitted olives
Ricotta Salata (see note) or Feta, crumbled to taste

Steps:

  • Make the dressing: Combine all dressing ingredients in a food processor and blitz to blend.
  • Place all of the salad ingredients except for the cheese in a large bowl. Right before serving, add about half of the dressing and toss well. Add more dressing little by little as necessary; be sure to dress greens very generously, otherwise salad will be bland. Toss in the cheese, then taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary.
  • Note: Ricotta salata is an Italian sheep's milk cheese that has a salty, slightly tangy flavor, almost like a dry Italian feta. It is not the same as the wet ricotta in the tub. You can find it at Whole Foods, gourmet grocers or specialty cheese shops.
  • Note: Nutritional information was calculated assuming ½ cup of ricotta salata and all of the dressing was used.
