ROMAINE SALAD WITH CREAMY GARLIC DRESSING



Romaine Salad with Creamy Garlic Dressing image

I wish I had a nickel for every time I was either asked to make this salad for a gathering, or asked for the recipe for it! The dressing is irresistable! A good description for this is a Caesar Salad gone balistic. It travels well too; I prepare all the ingredients, except the avocado, and pack in separate containers and just assemble it when I get to my destination. So much of this can be done ahead of time that it makes this recipe an excellent choice for a dinner party. Plan on having copies of the recipe available because you will be asked for them! I found this recipe in the Sunset CookBook of Favorite Recipes II.

Time 20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large romaine lettuce
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lime juice or 1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 very fresh egg
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 avocado
3 tablespoons grated fresh parmesan cheese
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

2/3 cup seasoned croutons, purchased or homemade

Steps:

  • Tear lettuce into bite-size pieces, you should have about 12 cups.
  • Cover and refrigerate until well chilled.
  • Combine garlic and salt in a small bowl and mash with the back of a spoon into a paste, or (and this is what I do), mash with a mortar and pestle and transfer to a bowl.
  • Mix garlic paste with lime juice, add egg* and beat until foamy.
  • Stir in mayo and worcestershire.
  • This can be made ahead, just cover and refrigerate.
  • Just before serving, peel, pit and dice avocado.
  • In a large salad bowl, combine avocado, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, onions and croutons.
  • Stir dressing and pour over salad then toss until well mixed.
  • *If you are pregnant or nursing, or have a compromised immune system you may want to consider using a purchased pasteurized egg product.
