A crisp salad of romaine, avocado, apples and parmesan dressing, – and a good handful of salted almonds. It comes together in no time and makes a lovely meal in itself with a piece of bread or some chicken on the side, – but it is just as good as a side dish on the lunch table, at a summer barbecue or with a chicken roasted in the oven.
The dressing is made with anchovies. Plenty of people have mixed feelings about those little rascals, – and if you are one of them, simply leave them out 🙂
Advertisement*// This recipe was developed in partnership with Nordic Harvest. I used their Baby romaine, – which is wonderful for this type of salad, with a fine flavour and a good crunch.
The lettuce comes rinsed and ready to use, – so all you really need to do is toss it together and enjoy a salad you can put together in next to no time.
Green salad with avocado, apples and parmesan dressing
Ingredients
The salad
- 1 pack Nordic Harvest baby romaine* – or a head of romaine lettuce
- 2 avocados
- 2 red apples
- 1 handful salted almonds
Parmesan dressing
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 clove garlic
- 40 g parmesan, grated
- 2 small anchovy fillets
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 100 ml rapeseed oil
- 25 ml water, – adjust the consistency, perhaps a little more or less
- Salt and pepper
Method
Parmesan dressing
- Put the egg yolk, garlic, parmesan, anchovy fillets and lemon juice in a mini chopper/blender and blend until smooth.
- Then add the oil a little at a time while blending, – continue until all the oil is used up and you have a thick, creamy mayonnaise.
- Add the water a little at a time, still blending, until you reach the consistency you want, – the dressing should be creamy, neither too thin nor too thick. Season to taste with salt and pepper and keep in the fridge until ready to serve.
The salad
- Cut the avocados into wedges.
- Cut one apple into thin slices and the other into small dice.
- Toss the lettuce and apples together and arrange in a bowl.
- Scatter the avocado wedges through the salad and top with the salted almonds, freshly ground pepper and parmesan dressing.Serve with extra dressing on the side.
