House of Prime Rib Salad Recipe
Love steakhouse salads? This House of Prime Rib Salad Recipe combines crunchy lettuce, red onion, garlic vinaigrette, and croutons perfectly.
Ingredients
For the Salad
- 1 large head iceberg lettuce cold and crisp
- ½ small red onion very thinly sliced
- 1 cup seasoned croutons
For the Dressing
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 small garlic clove finely minced
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Lettuce
- Remove the core from the iceberg lettuce and chop or tear it into bite-sized pieces. Wash thoroughly and dry very well. Crisp, dry lettuce makes all the difference in this salad.
Step 2: Slice the Onion
- Thinly slice the red onion. If you prefer a milder flavor, soak the slices in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain well.
Step 3: Make the Dressing
- In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the red wine vinegar, olive oil, sugar, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Season with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust. The dressing should be tangy with a slight sweetness.
Step 4: Assemble the Salad
- Add the lettuce, red onion, and croutons to a large bowl. Drizzle with the dressing and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
Step 5: Serve Immediately
- This salad is best served right away while the lettuce is crisp and the croutons still have crunch.
