Avocado Caesar Salad

I went out to a restaurant this weekend and there was an Avocado Caesar Salad on the menu. But, the waiter was not sure if there were any anchovies involved in the dressing. So, inspired by that moment, I had to wake up the very next day and make myself a Vegetarian Avocado Caesar Salad.

Fun fact: I am not vegetarian. However, I try to eat as plant based as possible. Vegetables are usually the focus of my meals because not only are they absolutely beautiful, they make me feel good. Vegetables are also easier on my wallet, and better for the enviorment than most animal based meals.

Anyway.. onto the dressing!

1 tsp. Dijon Mustard

1 tsp. Annie's Worcestershire Sauce (Vegetarian and Vegan guys!)

2 Lemons, Juiced

2 Tablespoons Fresh Cilantro, Chopped

4 Tablespoons Olive Oil

Salt and Fresh Cracked Black Pepper to Taste

Directions:

Place all ingredients except olive oil into a blender, or food processor. Blend on medium speed or pulse, and slowly add olive oil. Once olive oil is incorporated, add a bit of salt and black pepper to the mixture, blend, and then taste with a spoon. Add more salt if desired.

Marinated Red Beet and Cabbage Salad

+ Tarragon Vinaigrette

Most people meal prep Monday-Friday. But, what about the weekend? Having some healthy goodies in the fridge on Friday/Saturday/Sunday will curb those cravings for the more indulgent things.. because you know you'll end up having those later anyway.

The Tarragon Vinaigrette is what really makes this salad shine. It marinates the roasted beets, shaved cabbage, and red onion, so every ingredient sings together. You can totally make this ahead for the week or weekend. It's amazing right out of the fridge. And, it's already dressed.

Mojito Watermelon Feta Salad

Whoa, okay. All of the sudden it is Summer here in Los Angeles and the client's are craving cold dishes again. I am personally thrilled about this because Garde Manger, or the cold station, in the restaurant is one of my favorite places to be. I think it takes a lot of finesse and skill to make something fantastic without fire, or heat in the kitchen.. and this salad will prove why.

This Salad is a twist on a classic watermelon, feta and mint salad, only I upped the game a little bit by adding some fresh lime juice, zest, shaved red onion and heirloom tomatoes. It gives the salad a different texture contrast, and the acid from the lime pops! It's referenced to as a mojito salad as a classic Mojito contains lime, mint and sugar, which are all represented here. You'll want to eat a whole bowl of this and pass on the BBQ. I'm super serious.

Green Goddess Dressing is a thick, creamy dressing made of sour cream, mayonaisse, herbs and lemon. I have made a "healthier" version of this classic dressing by substituting avocado for mayonaisse. I personally think it tastes better, and it will give you a rich, green dressing without the added mayonaisse. You can also use this dressing as a dip!

Servings: 2-3

Prep Time: 15 Minutes

Cook Time: None

By: Chef Hallie Norvet

Ingredients:

1 Avocado, Halved and Peeled, 1/2 Sliced

1 Clove Garlic, Chopped

1/2 Cup Sour Cream

1/4 Cup Scallion or Chive, Chopped

2 Tablespoons Basil, Chopped

2 Tablespoons Tarragon, Chopped

1 Tablespoon Parsley, Chopped

1 Teaspoon Anchovy Paste or Chopped Anchovies

1/2 Lemon, Juiced

Salt and Black Pepper

Black Pepper

1 Head Lettuce, Washed and Quartered (Butter/Bibb or Green Leaf would be ideal.)

1/2 Pound Cooked Shrimp, No Shells or Tails

10 Grape Tomatoes, Halved

3 Radishes, Sliced

Garnish:

Parsley Leaves

1 Tablespoon Chopped Green Onion

Baby Buttercrunch Lettuce from my personal garden.

Directions:

In a blender add 1/2 avocado, garlic, sour cream, scallion, basil, tarragon, parsley, anchovy, lemon and a dash of salt and pepper to make your dressing. Blend until smooth. Season to your taste. If you would like your dressing a bit thinner, add 2 tablespoons of water and blend until smooth. Re-season.

On a large plate, pour a smal circle of dressing onto the center. Top with lettuce, shrimp, sliced avocado, tomatoes and radish slices. Garnish with parsley or chopped scallion. Not into shrimp? Other great protein packed toppings would be cooked salmon, hardboiled egg or bacon. Yum!

This California Cobb Salad is one of the first salads I learned how to prepare as a garde manger cook. It is a great stand-by because you almost always have the ingredients on hand and it will fill you up without weighing you down.

Servings: 4

Prep-Time: 20 Minutes

Cook-Time: 10 Minutes

By: Chef Hallie Norvet

Ingredients:

4 Large Eggs, Hardboiled and Peeled

3/4 Cup Vegetable Oil

1 Small Onion, Sliced into Small Rings

2 Tablespoons Half and Half

1/2 Cup AP Flour

Salt

1 Teaspoon Dijon Mustard

1 Teaspoon Honey

1 Tablespoon Red Wine Vinegar

3 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 Bunch Green Leaf Lettuce, Washed and Chopped

4 Strips Bacon, Cooked and Chopped

1/2 Cup Grape Tomatoes, Halved

1 Avocado, Quartered and Sliced

20 Chive Sprigs, Cut into 1/2 Inch Batons

Salt and Pepper

Directions:

Separate hardboiled egg yolks from egg whites. With a grater, grate both the yolk and white individually. Keep separated until time for assembly.

In a small stock pot, add vegetable oil and heat over medium heat for 3-4 minutes or so to fry onions. If you have a thermometer, it should reach a temperature of 325 degrees. Use caution to not overheat oil as it can catch fire. If you ever see oil smoking, remove from heat  until it has cooled a bit. If your oil should ever catch fire, *do not* add water to to the pot, this will create a crazy water/oil explosion. Carefully, take the pots lid and place it over the pot to extinguish flame. Place your sliced onions in a small bowl and cover with half and half. Let sitfor 2 minutes or so. Remove onions from half and half and place them into flour until coated thoroughly. Once your oil is up to temperature, drop in one test onion to see how the rest of the batch will cook. Cook onions 3 or 4 sliced rings at a time as not to overcrowd oil. When cooked place on a paper towel to drain and season with salt. Make as many or as little as you want, or you can omit this step completely.

In a small mixing bowl, whisk dijon and mustard until incorporated. Then whisk in red wine vinegar. Once incorporated, slowly whisk in olive oil. It will make a thick yummy dressing. If the dressing is too thick for you, add a small amount of cold water until desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.

Now you're ready to assemble! Dress the green leaf lettuce with the dressing then place an equal amount of salad into 4 long plates. Then, you are free to place topping on the top in whatever order you wish, but you can use my photo for reference. Top with fried onions, and enjoy!

This vibrant Roasted Beet and Herb Goat Cheese Terrine with Fried Shallots can be made hours or days ahead of time. I personally love a broken balsamic vinigrette, or balsamic reduction drizzled over this, but a teaspoon of a really great extra virgin olive oil would be simply fantastic.

Servings: 4

Prep Time: 1 hour

Cook Time: 1.5 hours

By: Chef Hallie Norvet

Ingredients:

2 Large Red Beets

2 Large Golden Beets

8oz. Crumbled Goat Cheese

1 Tablespoon Chopped Tarragon

1 Tablespoon Chopped Chive

1 Large Shallot, Very Thinly Sliced

2 Tablespoon Whole Milk

3 Tablespoons AP Flour

1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil

Garnish:

Himalayan Pink Salt

Purple Baby Kale

Tarragon Sprigs

Chive

Directions:

Pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees. Line a medium sheet pan with aluminum foil. Take beets and place them on cutting board. Cut each root end and top off of each beet. Wrap each beet in alumium foil and place on foil lined sheet tray (this will save you a lot of clean-up later). Roast beets for 45 minutes.

While the beets are roasting, in a mixing bowl, add goat cheese, tarragon and chive. Mix until incorporated thoroughly. Put goat cheese mixture to side until ready to assemble.

In a small saute pan, add vegetable oil and heat over medium heat until 325 degrees. Mix shallots with milk in a small mixing bowl. In another small mixing bowl, add the flour. Remove shallots from milk mixture and dredge in flour. Once vegetable oil has come to temperature, carefully add shallots to pan. Be sure to flip and cook evenly until golden brown and crunchy. Remove from oil and allow to dry on paper towels.

When your beets are done, you will be able to easily insert a toothpick into them without resistance. Remove foil from beets and allow to cool. Hold beets until cold running water and gently pull off their skins. Discard the skins and dry your peeled beets with a paper towel. *Note, red beets can cause staining of clothes, tile etc. use caution.

Once your beets are cool and dry, slice them into 1/4 inch slices.

To Assemble:

Line an 8x8 glass dish with saran wrap. Start with one layer of red beets. Top with 1/3 of the goat cheese mixture. Just add large crumbles, it does not need to be perfectly spread. Just make sure there is an even amount. Repeat this process again with another layer of red beets, then two layers of golden beets. Red Beet | Goat Cheese | Red Beet | Goat Cheese | Yellow Beet | Goat Cheese | Yellow Beet. Top with final layer of saran wrap, and add a flat heavy weight on top, like a book with a brick on top to "press" the terrine. Place in your refrigerator for 1 hour to 1 day.

Serving:

When ready to serve, remove terrine from dish by placing cutting board on top and flipping over. Remove plastic wrap, and slice. You can have thick or thin slices, small hors d'oeuvre size cubes, cut it however you like. Season with Himalayan pink salt, a small drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and garnish with tarragon sprigs or chive.

This sophisticated salad is a French classic that is sure to impress any dinner guests. If you cannot find frisee in your local super market, purchase a bag of mixed greens that has frisee in it, it will do just as well.

By: Chef Hallie Norvet

Ingredients:

1 Pound Asparagus, Washed and Ends Trimmed

3 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 Teaspoon Salt

4 Slices of Bacon

1 Lemon, Zested and Juiced

3 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Oil

1 Tablespoon Raw Honey

Pinch of Salt and Pepper

2 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar

4 Large Eggs

4 Cups Torn Frisee or Mixed Greens

Directions:

Pre-heat oven to 425. Fill a medium sauce pot full of water, put over high heat and bring to a rolling boil. Place asparagus on a medium sheet tray and top with olive oil and one teaspoon salt. Bake at 425 for 10-12 minutes until tender. While asparagus is in oven, put 4 slices of bacon into medium skillet over medium heat, cook until golden and crispy. Crumble bacon into large pieces and reserve for plating.

In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, lemon zest, 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon honey and a dash of salt and pepper. Whisk ingredients until incorporated, put to side. Add 2 tablespoons cider vinegar to boiling water. The vinegar will help keep your poached egg intact. Bring boiling water down to a low simmer. Gently crack each egg into hot water. Let eggs poach for 2 minutes until whites have become opaque. Gently "flip" eggs with a spoon or spatula. Continue cooking eggs for 3-4 minutes. Once whites are completely opaque, gently remove eggs from water and allow to dry on a paper towel.

If you like your eggs cooked more than over medium, continue cooking until yolks are firm.

Assembly:

In a small mixing bowl, mix frisee or mixed greens with lemon dressing. Grab a clean plate and place asparagus down first. Top with dressed frisee and bacon crumbles. Top mixed greens with poached egg. Garnish with scallion or chive. Enjoy!
