Julie's Famous Italian House Salad
This easy Italian house salad is one of my favorite Italian side dishes. Fresh, crisp lettuce is paired with artichoke hearts, parmesan cheese, onion and a red wine vinaigrette. .
Ingredients
For the salad ingredients:
- ½ head iceberg lettuce, washed and chopped into bite size pieces
- ½ head romaine lettuce, washed and chopped into bite size pieces
- 7 ounces marinated artichoke hearts, drained
- ½ cup red onion, sliced
- ⅔ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
For the homemade Italian dressing (red wine vinaigrette):
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl, toss iceberg lettuce, romaine lettuce, artichoke hearts, red onion and Parmesan cheese.
- In a small bowl or mason jar, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt and pepper. Whisk well or shake to combine.
- Top salad with dressing and let stand for 15 minutes in refrigerator before serving.
Notes
I like a more acidic dressing, so I typically add a bit more vinegar and reduce the olive oil proportionally. You can also keep the recipe as written but add a big squeeze of fresh lemon juice for more acidity.
Wonderful served with crusty bread.
