Provided by By Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Side Dish

Time 20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 or 2 medium lemons
2 cloves garlic or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 large bunch or 2 small bunches romaine lettuce
1 small red onion
1 cup pitted kalamata olives or pitted jumbo ripe olives
1 jar (6 oz) marinated artichoke hearts, undrained
1/2 cup seasoned croutons
1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Roll each lemon on the countertop with the palm of your hand, using gentle pressure (this will help release the juices). Cut 1 lemon in half; squeeze juice from each half. Use enough lemons until you have 1/4 cup lemon juice. Peel and finely chop the garlic. In a tightly covered jar or container, shake lemon juice, garlic, oil, salt and pepper.
  • Remove any limp outer leaves from the romaine and discard. Break remaining leaves off the core; rinse with cool water. Shake off excess water and blot to dry, or roll up the leaves in a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to dry. Tear the leaves into bite-size pieces. You will need about 10 cups of romaine pieces.
  • Peel the onion; slice onion and separate into rings.
  • In a large glass or plastic bowl, place the romaine, onion, olives and artichoke hearts (with liquid). Shake the vinaigrette again to mix ingredients. Pour vinaigrette over the salad ingredients, and toss with 2 large spoons or salad tongs until evenly coated.
  • Sprinkle the croutons and cheese over the salad. Serve immediately.

Romaine & Avocado Salad image

This quick and easy salad from the World's Healthiest Foods site combines some of my absolute favorite ingredients. It tastes so good, and is good for you too! You can save time by buying pre-chopped, bagged romaine lettuce.

Provided by Lynne M

Categories     Greens

Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large head romaine lettuce, outside leaves discarded
1 large tomatoes, chopped
1 small red bell pepper, julienned
1/2 small avocado, cut into chunks
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped walnuts (optional)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
extra virgin olive oil, to taste
salt and black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Remove outer leaves of lettuce heads and discard. Cut off tops of leaves and discard. (Tops are bitter.)
  • Chop remaining inner leaves. Rinse in cold water, and dry (this will keep the flavor of the salad from getting diluted).
  • In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss with salad greens, red bell pepper, tomato and avocado chunks. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts if desired.
  • Serve immediately, and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and ripe avocados: For the best flavor and texture, choose ripe avocados that are slightly firm but yield to gentle pressure.
  • Slice the avocados thinly: To create the avocado fans, it's important to slice the avocados thinly and evenly. This will help them hold their shape when arranged on the salad.
  • Use high-quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this salad dressing. It has a rich flavor and aroma that will complement the other ingredients.
  • Season the dressing well: Don't be afraid to season the dressing to your taste. Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices until it reaches your desired flavor profile.
  • Assemble the salad just before serving: This salad is best enjoyed fresh, so assemble it just before serving. The avocado fans will start to brown if they are left in the dressing for too long.

Conclusion:

This romaine salad with avocado fans is a refreshing and delicious salad that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its combination of crisp romaine lettuce, creamy avocado, and tangy dressing, this salad is sure to be a hit. So why not give it a try today?
