This is my favorite salad that I serve when company is coming. My sister gave me the original. I have been making this for at lest the last 15 years. I have passed this recipe around so much. I thought I should share it. Every time I serve it. People want the recipe. The dressing brings it together. It is a very delicious...

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pkg of romaine lettuce or 1 head of romaine
1 good size tomato cut up
1 red onion halved nd sliced
1- 2 soft avocados
1/2 pkg bacon cooked crisp and crumbled
1 pkg crumbled feta cheese
1 lemon (this is to rub the avocado with)
1 pkg croutons if desired
DRESSING
3/4 c olive oil
1/4 c red wine vinegar
4 tsp granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
1-2 clove garlic chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Make the dressing mix all ingredients in a shake bottle, and let sit a few hours in fridge before using or even better overnight. I think the dressing is best the next day. It gives the garlic time to infuse the oil and vinegar. Also the dressing is delicious on other salads. If refrigerating overnight. Take bottle of dressing out of fridge two hours before using. Some of the oil may have solidified. Let oil soften. Shake well to dress salad. The reason for refrigerating is the raw garlic in it.
  • 2. Fry the bacon until crisp.
  • 3. Chop and rinse the romaine lettuce and dry it.
  • 4. Chop avocado and rub with lemon so it doesn't turn color.
  • 5. Chop the red onion and dice the tomato.
  • 6. Combine all vegetables and avocado in serving bowl. Sprinkle with bacon and feta cheese. Dress with the red wine dressing. Add croutons if wanted.

Yield Makes 4 (main course) or 6 (side dish) servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup grated parmesan
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced canned chipotle chiles in adobo
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 ears of corn, shucked
2 firm-ripe 6-to 8-ounces avocados, halved and pitted but not peeled
1 head romaine (1 pound), tough outer leaves discarded and head quartered lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1-inch strips

Steps:

  • Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over hot charcoal (high heat for gas); see Grilling Procedure .
  • Put parmesan in a medium bowl and add olive oil in a slow stream, whisking. Whisk in lime juice, garlic, chipotles, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
  • Rub vegetable oil on corn and cut sides of avocados, then season with 1/8 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Grill avocados, cut sides down, and corn, covered only if using a gas grill, turning corn occasionally, until golden-brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Peel avocados and thinly slice. Cut corn kernels from cobs.
  • Toss romaine with dressing and serve topped with avocado and corn.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use ripe avocados. Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color and slightly soft to the touch.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • To make the dressing ahead of time, simply whisk all of the ingredients together and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a more flavorful dressing, roast the garlic cloves before adding them to the blender.
  • If you don't have a blender, you can mash the avocado with a fork and then whisk in the remaining ingredients.

Conclusion:

This romaine salad with avocado dressing is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy your favorite greens. The avocado dressing is creamy, flavorful, and packed with nutrients. The salad is also a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy salad recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
