The house salad
Indulge in a delightful blend of crisp, fresh greens tossed with a zesty vinaigrette dressing. This house salad is packed with flavor and vibrant colors.
Ingredients:
- 1 large head butter or bibb lettuce
- 1 small jicama, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch matchsticks (roughly 1/2 cup)
- 1/3 cup pomegranate seeds
- 1 cup large shavings Asiago or Parmesan cheese
- 2 1/2 tablespoons crème fraîche
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 scallion, white part only, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
Instructions:
- Prepare the dressing by combining crème fraîche, olive oil, and honey in a bowl. Include the scallion, vinegar, salt, and pepper in the mix and whisk thoroughly. Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or a bit of extra vinegar if you prefer a tangier flavor.
- Carefully separate the lettuce leaves from the core, ensuring they are free of excess moisture. Lightly combine the leaves and jicama with the prepared dressing. Arrange them in a pile on each of 4 plates, starting with the largest leaves at the base for stability. Decorate each salad with a portion of the pomegranate seeds and shaved cheese. Serve promptly.
