Recipe from
Raising the Salad Bar
Husband-Tested
in Alice’s Kitchen
We, and most of our friends, don’t
have television. I don’t mean the actual
device, but I mean we don’t have local, cable or satellite television. We rent movies and make television a special
event rather than something that is on all the time. Debbie and Bob had rented season two of
Downton Abbey and invited us over to watch a couple of episodes and to have
dinner on their deck. Debbie made Pasta
with Zucchini and Toasted Almonds and a spectacular Oregano and Asiago Focaccia and I made
a simple salad with this delicious dressing.
We ate this fabulous meal out on their deck on a summer’s evening and
then as it got dark, we headed in to watch our show. Fun! Fun!
3
Tablespoons raspberry vinegar
4
Tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon
maple syrup or honey
1
Tablespoon minced shallot or red onion
½ teaspoon
Dijon mustard
6
Tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt
and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Place all
the ingredients in a jar with a lid.
Shake vigorously until the dressing is well blended. (This
made enough dressing for two salads.)
Here’s what
went in the salad you see pictured:
1 head of Bibb lettuce
2 carrots, sliced
1 tomato, chopped
2 hard-boiled eggs, sliced
2 cups snow peas, chopped
½ cucumber, peeled and
chopped
2 Tablespoons goat cheese,
crumbled
½ cup pecan, chopped
