How To Make 1905 Salad?
- Prepare the salad: In a large bowl, combine the shredded iceberg lettuce, cut tomatoes, sliced celery, Swiss cheese, ham, and Spanish olives.
- Make the dressing: In a separate bowl, mix the minced garlic, oregano, and Worcestershire sauce. Gradually add olive oil while whisking to form an emulsion.
- Finish the dressing: Stir in the white wine vinegar and lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Dress the salad: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything well to coat.
- Add Romano: Sprinkle grated Romano cheese over the salad and toss once more before serving.
Recipe Tips:
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Always choose fresh and high-quality ingredients. Fresh vegetables, herbs, and proteins can elevate the taste and texture of your dish significantly.
- Balance the Flavors: Pay attention to the balance between salty, sweet, acidic, and savory flavors. A pinch of salt or a splash of vinegar can make a big difference.
- Don’t Skip Emulsification: When making a salad dressing, gradually add oil to create a smooth emulsion. It helps the dressing coat the salad evenly, enhancing the taste.
- Rest Your Salad After Dressing: Let the salad sit for a few minutes after tossing with the dressing. This allows the flavors to meld together perfectly.
- Adjust Seasoning to Taste: Taste the dish before serving, and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed. Small tweaks can make a big impact.
How To Store Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: First, let the leftover 1905 Salad cool to room temperature. Then, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate it for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
