This is supposed to be a copy-cat of Pasta House Salad, but I think of it more as my step-mothers signature salad. We have this at every family function. It tastes very unique, and is also easy to prepare. I have often made it up the night before, salad in one bowl, dressing in another container, and then just combined the two prior to serving. Ingredients:
1 head iceberg lettuce |
1/2 head romaine lettuce |
1 can artichoke heart, drained |
1 medium red onion, sliced thin |
1 jar pimiento |
2/3 cup olive oil |
1/3 cup red wine vinegar |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1 teaspoon salt |
2/3 cup parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Toss together the lettuce, artichoke hearts, onion, and pimento in a large salad bowl and set aside.
2. Combine remaining ingredients ina container with a tight lid.
3. Shake container vigorously until well-blended.
4. Pour dressing onto salad and toss until well covered.
5. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes prior to serving to marinate.
6. Note: do not add dressing for more than 30 minutes prior to serving, because the acids in the dressing will break down the lettuce, causing it to be wilty.
