Judy Garland's Vegetable Salad

Ingredients

Salad Ingredients:

• 2 hearts of romaine, chopped
• 1 endive, sliced
• 1 cup chopped watercress leaves
• 3 carrots, peeled and grated
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 2 tomatoes, cored and diced
• ½ cup olives, pitted and quartered
• ½ cup peas, frozen or fresh – if fresh, steam lightly then chill, if frozen let thaw under cool running water

Dressing Ingredients:

• ½ cup olive oil
• ¼ cup vinegar (I used champagne vinegar)
• 1 tsp salt (I used 1 1/2 tsp)
• 1 tsp sugar (I used 2 tsp for a slightly sweeter dressing)
• 1 tsp paprika
• ½ tsp minced fresh garlic

Instructions

1. 1
   Combine salad ingredients in a bowl.
2. 2
   Whisk together dressing ingredients, or shake them in a clean bottle. Let rest for 5 minutes.
3. 3
   Whisk or shake again, let rest for 5 minutes.
4. 4
   Whisk or shake again, then pour over the salad. This makes a lot of dressing—you may wish to start by adding half to the salad, then add more to taste after tossing, to avoid “drowning” the salad in dressing.
5. 5
   Use clean hands to toss the salad ingredients with the dressing, making sure all ingredients are evenly coated with dressing. Serve.
