Marshall Fields Salad Recipe 55

Steps:

• Mix all dressing ingredients together in large bowl.
• Add chicken, green onion, pecans, and grapes if you are using them. Mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• Arrange lettuce leaves on plates and top each with a scoop of salad.
• Chef's Note: Cook up your chicken breast nice and tender by poaching or boiling. I shred my chicken the easy way using the plastic blade in my food processor and just giving it a few short pulses.

Steps:

• Vinaigrette: 1. Combine vinegar, egg, shallots, mustard, salt & pepper in blender and process. 2. With motor running, add the oil in a slow, steady stream to make an emulsion. Adjust salt & pepper and needed. Salad: 1. In a large bowl, combine lettuce, salami, chicken, provolone, tomatoes, chick peas, basil and parmesan and toss lightly. 2. Pour 1/2 C of the dressing over salad. 3. Toss well to coat. 4. Garnish with parmesan and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Butter rye bread and place on a large cold serving plate. Cover bread with Swiss cheese slice, followed by one or two slices of turkey. Take a nice large outer lettuce leaf from the head of iceberg and set aside. Slice the iceberg lettuce in a few large sections and arrange a section on top of the turkey and Swiss cheese.
• Cover the open-face "sandwich" with big lettuce leaf. Top with several slices of turkey. Pour a very ample amount of dressing over the lettuce, allowing it to puddle slightly all around the plate. Place a slice of bacon and an olive on either side of sandwich mound. Place tomato slice and egg slice atop mound with parsley sprig. Garnish with a large stuffed green olive. Serve immediately.
• Combine all Thousand Island Dressing ingredients. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Serve.
• Yield: One and three-fourths cups dressing.
