This Italian salad pairs nicely with Italian comfort food. You'll love the homemade dressing!

Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Salads

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup loosely packed fresh Italian parsley leaves
1 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
2 cloves garlic, peeled
¼ cup red wine vinegar, best quality such as Pompeian Gourmet
¾ cup extra virgin olive oil, best quality such as Lucini or Colavita
Heaping ¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1½ teaspoons honey
1 large head romaine lettuce (or 3 hearts), washed, dried and cut into large, bite-sized pieces
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
1 cup seeded and chopped hothouse cucumbers
1 to 2 carrots, peeled into ribbons
Handful grape tomatoes, halved
Handful pitted olives
Ricotta Salata (see note) or Feta, crumbled to taste

Steps:

  • Make the dressing: Combine all dressing ingredients in a food processor and blitz to blend.
  • Place all of the salad ingredients except for the cheese in a large bowl. Right before serving, add about half of the dressing and toss well. Add more dressing little by little as necessary; be sure to dress greens very generously, otherwise salad will be bland. Toss in the cheese, then taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary.
  • Note: Ricotta salata is an Italian sheep's milk cheese that has a salty, slightly tangy flavor, almost like a dry Italian feta. It is not the same as the wet ricotta in the tub. You can find it at Whole Foods, gourmet grocers or specialty cheese shops.
  • Note: Nutritional information was calculated assuming ½ cup of ricotta salata and all of the dressing was used.

Yield Makes about 1/2 cup

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon dried basil, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
Pinch of dried oregano

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in small bowl and whisk to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and dressing will make your salad more flavorful and nutritious.
  • Choose a variety of textures: Combine crunchy vegetables, such as cucumber and bell pepper, with softer greens, such as lettuce and spinach, for a more interesting salad.
  • Don't overdress your salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will weigh down the salad and make it less enjoyable to eat.
  • Serve your salad immediately: Salad is best when it's fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store the dressing and salad separately and assemble just before serving.
