Steps:
- Heat 4 inches of vegetable oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F.
- Set up a breading station with the eggs, flour and breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls. Season the breadcrumbs with salt and pepper. Working one at a time, dip the ravioli in the egg, then in the flour, back in the egg and finally in the breadcrumbs.
- Working in batches, fry the ravioli until golden, flipping and making sure they are not overlapping, about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle with some Romano and parsley. Serve with your favorite sauce.
Tips:
- Choose the right ravioli: Look for ravioli with a thin, delicate dough and a flavorful filling. You can use any type of ravioli you like, but some good options include cheese ravioli, meat ravioli, or vegetable ravioli.
- Toast the ravioli before adding it to the salad: This will give the ravioli a crispy exterior and a slightly chewy interior. You can toast the ravioli in a skillet with a little olive oil or butter, or you can bake it in the oven.
- Make sure the dressing is creamy and flavorful: The dressing is what brings the salad together, so make sure it's delicious! You can use a store-bought dressing or make your own. If you're making your own dressing, use a good quality olive oil and vinegar, and add some herbs and spices to taste.
- Add some fresh vegetables to the salad: This will make the salad more nutritious and colorful. Some good options include tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and bell peppers.
- Serve the salad immediately: The ravioli will start to soften as it sits in the dressing, so it's best to serve the salad as soon as it's made.
Conclusion:
Toasted ravioli salad with creamy marinara dressing is a delicious and easy-to-make salad that's perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. The crispy ravioli, creamy dressing, and fresh vegetables make this salad a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a new salad recipe, give this one a try!
