Judy Garland's Vegetable Salad

"I like nice, crispy vegetable salad. But I didn't always like it. Then one day my mother discovered just the right combination, just the right dressing and now it is my favorite type of food." - Judy Garland

Ingredients
Salad Ingredients:
- 2 hearts of romaine, chopped
- 1 endive, sliced
- 1 cup chopped watercress leaves
- 3 carrots, peeled and grated
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 2 tomatoes, cored and diced
- ½ cup olives, pitted and quartered
- ½ cup peas, frozen or fresh – if fresh, steam lightly then chill, if frozen let thaw under cool running water
Dressing Ingredients:
- ½ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup vinegar (I used champagne vinegar)
- 1 tsp salt (I used 1 1/2 tsp)
- 1 tsp sugar (I used 2 tsp for a slightly sweeter dressing)
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp minced fresh garlic
Instructions
-
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. This 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.
