Cheddar Dressed Lettuce Steaks
This is a salad that deservedly strives to be the star of the show, and why not! It’s both beautiful to behold, and a joy to eat!
The dressing has a lovely bold flavour . . . creamy and rich . . . a little bit goes a very long way. I always use strong/sharp cheddar. To me it is the most flavourful cheese in the world without being in the slightest bit obnoxious.
I could eat the dressing with a spoon . . . I am sure you could too. You really have to make it, if only to serve on a lettuce wedge without all of the other party pieces. I dare say it would also be lovely on grilled chicken or fish.
Serves 4
2 TBS white wine vinegar
1 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 clove of garlic, peeled and finely minced
125g of dairy sour cream (1/2 cup)
2 TBS good quality mayonnaise
4 ounces strong cheddar cheese grated (about 1 cup)
3 TBS finely chopped chives
fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 head of iceberg lettuce, washed, left whole and outside leaves removed and discarded
To make the salads, slice the lettuce crosswise into steaks. Place one “steak” onto each of 4 salad plates. Sprinkle a quantity of cucumber, tomato, radish, bacon, onion, and parsley on top of each and drizzle with the dressing. Serve immediately.
You don’t have to limit yourself to the salad vegetables that I have used. The Clever Cook could come up with any combination of fresh crisp ingredients to use here. I am a bit pedantic and the chef in me like to cut all of my fresh veg into a very fine dice, but that is me. If you don’t mind larger bits, by all means use larger bits. It only matters really that it tastes good, always remembering of course that taste begins with the eyes! Bon Appetit!
