I loooovvve a good salad. A good salad enhances any meal from ordinary to elegant or festive or balanced. Not only do I like a good salad but I like a funky salad with tangy tastes, interesting ingredients, and unique toppings. So I am just so ashamed that this blog barely consists of any salad recipes. The reason for this is that I generally make my special salads for Shabbos, so they are assembled and put together on Shabbos, hence no picture taking.
I was determined to put this salad on the blog. For one
thing, I always have to search for it in email. My mother in-law sent me the
recipe last year, and I never bothered to write it down and put it away. Now I’ll
always have easy access. Also, just because I want to increase my posts on
salads!
So I made it during the week, only to realize that my girls
at school are making a welcome back party for a student. I brought it to the
party and the bowl was licked clean (metaphorically, of course ;))!
Overall this salad has a pretty solid reputation of being
well-liked by all!
Serves: 8
Preparation: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
Salad:
1 head Romaine
Lettice, cut to desired size
5-8 Cherry
or grape tomatoes, halved or quartered
4 portabella
mushrooms or 5-6 white mushrooms, diced
A handful of
almonds
Dressing:
1/3 cup oil
¼ cup sugar
¼ cup
vinegar
¼ tsp
mustard
¼ cup
ketchup
1 clove
garlic, crushed
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp
paprika
Instructions:
Place chopped mushrooms in a pan and drizzle with oil, salt,
and pepper. Roast in oven at 350 degrees (180c) for 20 minutes. Keep in mind
mushrooms will shrink in oven.
Before roasted and after roasted. |
While that’s roasting, place vegetables in a serving bowl.
Mix dressing together in separate bowl.
Add mushrooms and dressing right before serving. Top with
almonds.
Please note: Unless you’ve made a really large salad, don’t
pour on all the dressing. It makes a lot. I would save a little for later.
