This herbaceous salad has lots of bright, citrus notes and is the ultimate in crunch and freshness. The Lemon Pepper “Proutons™” - pretzel nugget croutons - give the dish the perfect topping and flavor finish.
- blender
- 2 hearts of romaine (or bundles of Bibb lettuce)
- ½ red onion (thinly sliced)
- ½ tbsp sugar
- 3 tbsp rice vinegar
- ½ cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
- 1 lime (juiced)
- ½ cup cilantro
- ½ clove garlic
- 1 cup Lemon Pepper OMG! Pretzels
- ¼ cup Cotija cheese (crumbled, optional)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Quick pickle the red onion - add the onion slices, sugar, vinegar and a pinch of salt to a small bowl, stir and let sit for 15 minutes.
Wash and dry lettuce. Cut lengthwise into thirds.
In a blender, combine the sour cream, lime juice, garlic and cilantro, Add salt and pepper to taste. NOTE - you can add some olive oil as needed to thin out the dressing.
Place the lettuce on a platter. Drizzle with dressing (PRO TIP: Place the dressing in a zipper top bag and cut a small hole in one corner. Then squeeze the dressing in a zig zag pattern over the lettuce for a beautiful presentation.) and then top with pickled onions, cheese and OMG! Lemon Pepper Pretzels.
Add a few cilantro leaves for garnish.
