The best part of this salad is the dressing. Its great on any salad and I prefer using big yellow onions that are strong in flavor. Add a bit of goat cheese for extra flavor. Ingredients:
2 large onions, sliced into wedges |
1 cup olive oil |
1 tablespoon white sugar |
1/2 cup chicken broth |
6 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar |
14 cups mixed salad greens |
1 cup toasted chopped walnuts |
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. Place onions cut side down on baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 30 minutes. Turn onions over and bake until brown and caramelized, about 30 minutes longer. Set aside to cool.
3. Place onions in food processor, add remaining oil, broth and vinegar. Puree until smooth and thick. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
4. In a large salad bowl, combine greens, 1/2 cup walnuts and half of red onion. Add enough dressing to coat greens, toss well. Sprinkle with remaining walnuts and red onion and serve.
