Creamy Romaine Salad - non-dairy
Creamy Romaine Salad - non-dairy
After you have made this once, you will want to make the dressing to have on hand in your refrigerator. It will store for quite a while and save you time, so you can have this salad often in just minutes. The silken tofu makes it creamy without dairy giving your salad a rich taste without a lot of fat. Add Chicken for more protein.
2 medium heads romaine lettuce, outer leaves discarded
1 bunch young dandelion greens, if available, or spring greens
1 medium tomato cut into eighths
Dressing
1 tsp Anchovy Paste
3 TBS chopped fresh basil
3 medium cloves garlic, pressed
1 TBS prepared Dijon mustard
1 TBS honey
½ tsp salt
½ tsp cracked black pepper
4 TBS fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
4 oz silken tofu
2 TBS extra virgin olive oil
*a little water to thin if needed
Blend all dressing ingredients in blender adding oil a little at a time at end. Chop, rinse, and dry romaine and dandelion greens. If you have a salad spinner it is best. If not, pat rinsed greens with paper towels so dressing doesn't get diluted. Toss greens with tomato and desired amount of dressing. Serves 4
