Ingredients

Salad Ingredients
  • 2 hearts of romaine chopped
  • 1 endive sliced
  • 1 cup chopped watercress leaves (these greens have a peppery taste; if you are not a fan of strong peppery flavors, feel free to substitute additional romaine or endive)
  • 3 carrots peeled and grated
  • 2 celery stalks diced
  • 2 tomatoes cored and diced
  • 1/2 cup olives pitted and quartered
  • 1/2 cup peas, frozen or fresh (if fresh, steam lightly, then chill; if frozen let thaw under cool running water)
Dressing Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup vinegar (I used champagne vinegar)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (I used 1 1/2 tsp)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (I used 2 tsp for a slightly sweeter dressing)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh garlic

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine salad ingredients in a bowl. Whisk together dressing ingredients, or shake them in a clean bottle. Let rest for 5 minutes. Whisk or shake again, let rest for 5 minutes. Whisk or shake again, then pour over the salad.
  2. The original recipe makes a lot of dressing. You may wish to start by adding half to the salad, then add more to taste after tossing, to avoid “drowning” the salad in dressing. Use clean hands to toss the salad ingredients with the dressing, making sure all ingredients are evenly coated with dressing. Serve.

Notes

  • You will also need: large salad bowl, whisk and small bowl or clean dressing bottle or mason jar
