HEARTS OF ROMAINE WITH ROASTED PEPPERS AND CABRALES DRESSING



Hearts of Romaine with Roasted Peppers and Cabrales Dressing image

Categories     Salad     Leafy Green     Pepper     Side     Roast     Blue Cheese     Lime     Bell Pepper     Summer     Oregano     Gourmet     Sugar Conscious     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

For roasted peppers
2 fresh poblano chiles
2 red bell peppers
For dressing
3 ounces Cabrales or other blue cheese, grated
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 hearts of romaine, separated into leaves

Steps:

  • Roast peppers:
  • Lay chiles and bell peppers on their sides on racks of gas burners and turn flame on high. (Or broil on rack of a broiler pan about 2 inches from heat.) Roast, turning with tongs, until skins are blackened, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Transfer to a bowl, then cover and let steam 10 minutes. Peel, seed, and cut into thin strips.
  • Make dressing:
  • Whisk together dressing ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Arrange salad:
  • Dip each romaine leaf in dressing to coat, shaking off excess, and arrange on a platter. Toss pepper strips in remaining dressing and scatter over romaine.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and crispy romaine hearts: Look for romaine hearts that are deep green in color and have tightly packed leaves. Avoid any that are wilted or have brown or yellow spots.
  • Wash the romaine hearts thoroughly: Rinse the romaine hearts under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Be sure to dry them thoroughly before slicing.
  • Slice the romaine hearts thinly: This will help the dressing to coat the leaves evenly. You can use a sharp knife or a mandoline to slice the romaine hearts.
  • Make the red pepper vinaigrette ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. You can store the vinaigrette in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • Toss the romaine hearts with the vinaigrette just before serving: This will help to prevent the leaves from wilting. You can also add other toppings, such as croutons, Parmesan cheese, or bacon.

Conclusion:

Romaine hearts with red pepper vinaigrette is a simple and refreshing salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover romaine hearts. The red pepper vinaigrette is tangy and flavorful, and it complements the crisp romaine leaves perfectly. This salad is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
