I love love love ordering from Pagliacci's in Seattle. Partially because their pizza is delicious, but more because it means I can order their amazing Pagliacci salad. I love everything about this salad - the garbanzo beans give me texture, the red onions some flavor, pancetta... all of it.
So of course, I decided it was about time to try and figure out my own version at home. Here's what I came up with for a single "meal" serving:
Ingredients:
1 "head" of romaine hearts (I buy the organic 3-packs)
1/4 can of garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1/4-1/2 of a red onion, chopped
1/2 a red pepper, chopped
1/4 cup of grated parmesan (could use mozarella if you have it)
Dressing
1 tablespoon caesar dressing
1/4 tsp of dijon mustard
1 teaspon red vine vinegar
salt + pepper to taste
Mix all of the ingredients + dressing in a large bowl, then dish out.
The great thing about this recipe is it's made me realize how easy it is to make a delicious salad if I can get my hands on a dressing I enjoy. I almost never like dressings out of a bottle, but by fiddling around with it and adding my own flavors - BAM, I have something I enjoy.
