Pistachio-Oregano Pesto | Serves: 1 1/4 cup | total time: 20 mins
Ingredients
3/4 cup raw pistachios (about 4 ounces), coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 anchovy fillet, chopped
1/2 cup oregano leaves, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°. Spread the pistachios in a pie plate and toast until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Let cool completely.
In a food processor, combine the pistachios with the garlic, anchovy, oregano and lemon juice. Pulse to chop. Add the olive oil and pulse to form a coarse sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
Fully Loaded Wedge Salad | Serves: 6 | Total Time: 20 mins
Ingredients
1 head iceberg lettuce
DRESSING
1/2 cup sour cream, about 6 ounces
3 ounces soft Blue Cheese or Gorgonzola
1 Tbsp buttermilk, or regular milk
juice of 1/2 lemon, more to taste
salt and pepper to taste
TOPPINGS
crumbled bacon
minced red onion
finely chopped bell pepper
finely chopped cucumber
finely chopped carrots
chopped croutons
chopped cherry tomatoes
finely chopped hard cooked egg
chopped or sliced black olives
garbanzo beans
Instructions
Put the dressing ingredients together in a small food processor and process briefly until combined, but still lumpy. Add salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste, and add more milk if you'd like a thinner dressing. Add more lemon juice if you like.
Wash and dry your head of lettuce. Remove any loose or browned leaves. Slice the head in half, through the core. Slice each half into 3 wedges, so you have a total of 6 wedges. Remove any bit of core from the bottom of each wedge. Do this shortly before serving your salad, because the lettuce can start to turn brown once cut.
Arrange your lettuce on a platter and drizzle each wedge with a little of the dressing. Scatter the toppings on top of the wedges and all around them.
Serve immediately with extra dressing.
Note: You can make individual salad plates instead of the platter if you like.
