I harvested two more heads of romaine lettuce last night. This lettuce made it through the winter under two feet of snow. We had a wonderful ceasar salad with dinner last night! Only two heads left :(
Ceasar Dressing Recipe
1-2 Cloves Garlic
1 Egg
1/3 Cup Vegetable Oil
1/4 tsp. Dry Mustard
3 Drops Tabasco
1/4 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce
3/4 tsp. Red Wine Vinegar
1 tsp. Lemon Juice
Pepper & Salt
Finely chop garlic, add remaining ingredients and blend well. I use a mini chopper/grinder. You could use a blender or food processor.
Top fresh greens with your choice of grated cheese, bacon bits, croutons or anchovies....what ever you desire! ENJOY!
Beutiful winter survivors! Does a cover of snow make the lettuce taste sweeter?
ReplyDeleteAngela, I think that it tastes a little more bitter. My dinner guests did not think so.
ReplyDeleteLovely harvest!
ReplyDeleteI also had over wintered lettuce for harvest. It was not bitter. It is a different variety than this one...
That romaine is lovely - and obviously hardy as well!
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing a romaine can survive under the snow and emerge so beautiful and green! Your Ceaser salad recipe sounds so good!
ReplyDeleteThose are two beautiful heads of lettuce. I can't wait for my romaine to be ready to pick, but mine was planted in the spring so it will still be a while.
ReplyDeleteI've not tried overwitnering romaine but now I will. I have seeded some red romaine that self sows. Maybe'll it'll give me some babies to experiment with.
ReplyDeleteThe overwintering of the romaine was not planned. We were going to make a cold frame for this bed last fall. We didn't have the time to build it. I think that I will seed it again this fall!
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely have to try this recipe. Your lettuce looks amazing by the way.
