1905 Salad
This delicious and authentic 1905 salad was made famous at the Columbia restaurant and is so simple to make at home with this recipe that includes a tangy garlic dressing made from scratch.
Ingredients
Dressing:
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the salad:
- 1 head Iceberg lettuce chopped
- 4 turkey slices julienned (or ham if preferred)
- 4 Swiss cheese slices julienned
- 2 medium tomatoes sliced into ⅛ wedges
- ¼ cup green olives preferably pitted
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl or a jar with a lid, combine the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk or shake ot combine. Taste and adjust to your taste.
- Put the chopped iceberg lettuce in a large salad bowl.
- Add the julienned turkey (or ham) and Swiss cheese to the bowl. Mix in the sliced tomatoes and green olives.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss everything together so it's well mixed.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top and serve.
Notes
- Make the dressing first: It helps to give the dressing a bit of time to sit before dressing the salad. Time allows the flavors to meld and develop.
- Try other meats and cheeses: If you happen to have some deli ham or sliced salami in the fridge, try that in place of the turkey! Different types of cheese will also be delicious, such as Colby Jack or provolone.
- Other salad mix-ins: Use this salad recipe as an opportunity to use up excess produce in your fridge. Try it with bell peppers, cucumbers, or shredded carrots. You can also add slices of hard-boiled eggs for extra protein.
- Make ahead: Mix up the salad dressing and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days if needed. Make and dress the salad just before serving.
