Ingredients
8 cups loosely packed assorted baby salad greens (about 4 ounces)
1/2 cup grated pepper jack cheese (about 3 ounces)
1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 cup whole oil-packed sundried tomatoes, drained and julienned (about 2 ounces)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Emeril's Simple Croutons, recipe follows
4 tablespoons alfalfa sprouts or broccoli sprouts
Simple Croutons
1 French baguette, preferably day-old, cut into 1D2-inch dice (about 12 ounces)
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 teaspoon Emeril's Original Essence or Creole Seasoning, recipe follows
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Emeril's ESSENCE Creole Seasoning
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
Directions
- To assemble the salad, place the greens, cheese, chopped thyme, and chopped rosemary in a large mixing bowl. Add the julienned sun-dried tomatoes. Drizzle the balsamic vinegar and extra- virgin olive oil over the salad, and season with salt, and pepper, to taste. Gently toss the ingredients to coat well.
- Divide the salad equally among 4 salad plates. Place 4 or 5 croutons on each plate, and top each salad with 1 tablespoon of the sprouts. Serve immediately.
Simple Croutons
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- Combine the diced bread, olive oil, Creole seasoning, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl, and toss quickly to coat the croutons well. Transfer the croutons to a baking sheet and spread them out in a single layer. Bake, rotating the baking sheet front to back midway through, or until the bread cubes are crisp all the way through and golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the bread from the oven and set aside to cool completely. Store the croutons in an airtight container at room temperature.
Emeril's ESSENCE Creole Seasoning
- Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Recipe from "New New Orleans Cooking", by Emeril Lagasse and Jessie Tirsch, published by William Morrow, 1993.
