Cucina Cucina! Chopped Salad
Notes:
This recipe is from the Oregonian Newspaper.
Ingredients:
Italian Vinaigrette:
1 egg yolk
1 Tbsp. water
1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
2 Tbsp. minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon coarse black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
2 tsp. dry oregano
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/3 C. red wine vinegar
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 C. olive oil
Salad:
4 oz. cooked chick peas, lightly chopped
1 head iceberg lettuce, chopped in 1/4 to 1/2 inch pieces
1 C. basil leaves, chopped
1 C. coarsely grated mozzarella cheese
12 oz. diced poached chicken breast
8 oz. dry wine salami, diced
8 oz. plum tomatoes, diced, reserve half for garnish
1/2 C. grated provolone cheese, reserve half for garnish
3 thin onions, thinly sliced, reserve half for garnish
8 lettuce leaves
Preparation:
1. To prepare the dressing: Combine the egg yolk and water in a small bowl and whisk well. Cover the bowl with a small plate and microwave on high for 10 seconds, or until the mixture starts to expand. Continue to cook 5 seconds longer. Whisk with a clean whisk. Cover and return to the microwave 5 seconds. Remove from the oven, whisk with a clean whisk, cover and let sit 1 minute.
2. In a food processor combine the egg, Dijon, garlic, salt, pepper, dry mustard, oregano, sugar, vinegar and lemon juice; process to blend. Slowly add the olive oil, processing until emulsified. Set aside. (The dressing makes about 1-1/2 C. ; refrigerate the excess).
3. To prepare the salad: Combine the chick peas, iceberg lettuce, basil, mozzarella, chicken, salami and half of the tomatoes, provolone and green onions. Toss with the dressing. Divide evenly between 8 lettuce-lined plates. Garnish with the remaining tomatoes, provolone and green onions.
