Ensalada de Lechuga con Aderezo de Cilantro from Zarela's VeraCruz - a lovely, simple salad with a very fresh taste-a wonderful palate cleanser after a main course. Ingredients:
1 large romaine lettuce (ragged outer leaves discarded) |
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and julienned (any type) |
4 large celery ribs, trimmed and julienned |
20 fresh cilantro stems, leaves only |
1/2 cup olive oil |
1/4 cup cider vinegar |
1/2 small white onion, finely chopped |
1 teaspoon salt (to taste) |
fresh ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Have ready a large bowl of ice water.
2. Rinse the lettuce under cold running water, tear into bite-sized pieces, and let stand in the ice water to crisp for 10-15 minutes. Drain well and dry very thoroughly in a salad spinner.
3. In a salad bowl, combine the lettuce, cucumber, and celery.
4. In a blender, combine the cilantro and olive oil; process to a puree.
5. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.
6. Toss with the salad and serve.
