Comfy Cuisine: February 2015

This chunk of super-crisp iceberg lettuce bathed in creamy dressings, has been making a comeback at some famous restaurants and steakhouses these days.  Making your own fresh dressing takes no time at all with the help of a food processor.






1 head iceberg lettuce, cut into 4 wedges

4 slices bacon, cooked until crispy

2 hard boiled eggs (1 for dressing and 1 grated for topping)

Freshly ground black pepper

Cherry or grape tomatoes (optional)



Homemade Thousand Island Dressing



1 clove garlic

1/4 tsp. salt

3/4 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup chili sauce (Heinz)

2 Tbsp. ketchup

1-1/2 Tbsp. minced onion

2 tsp. dill relish (not sweet relish)

1 hard-boiled egg



Put all ingredients in a small food processor and blend until well combined.  Chill until ready to serve.



Put one wedge of lettuce on each plate.  Add dressing and toppings and serve well chilled.
