- 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil thoughtfully pressed from the finest olives, providing a fruity and robust flavor to the dressing.
- 1 cup of creamy mayonnaise meticulously made from high-quality eggs and pure vegetable oil, adding a rich and velvety texture to the dressing.
- A pinch each of salt and freshly ground black pepper meticulously measured to taste, enhancing the flavors of the dressing with their well-rounded seasoning.
- 8 tablespoons of golden brown sugar carefully measured and dissolved, infusing the dressing with its subtle and caramel-like sweetness.
- 4 teaspoons of premium Dijon mustard or regular mustard skillfully blended with aromatic spices and vinegar, providing a tangy and zesty kick to the dressing.
- 2 tablespoons of low-sodium soy sauce carefully brewed to preserve its savory and umami-rich flavors, offering a delightful depth to the dressing.
- 4 cloves of garlic skillfully peeled and finely minced, releasing their pungent and aromatic notes that elevate the overall flavor profile of the dressing.
Instructions
- Gather together the freshly chopped romaine lettuce hearts, nish nosh crackers, cherry tomatoes, finely sliced purple cabbage and diced red onion into a large bowl.
- In a separate small container, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, minced garlic cloves, lemon juice, soy sauce, olive oil and brown sugar to form the dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and give them a gentle mix until everything is evenly coated.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
Notes
- If you don't have nish nosh crackers, try substituting them with croutons or tortilla chips.
- Make sure to use low-sodium soy sauce to keep the dish from getting too salty.
- For an extra kick, add some diced jalapenos or other spicy peppers to the salad.
