Ensalada de Lechuga con Aderezo de Cilantro from "Zarela's VeraCruz" — a lovely, simple salad with a very fresh taste--a wonderful palate cleanser after a main course.

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 large romaine lettuce (ragged outer leaves discarded)
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and julienned (any type)
4 large celery ribs, trimmed and julienned

1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/2 small white onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
fresh ground black pepper

In a salad bowl, combine the lettuce, cucumber, and celery.
4
In a blender, combine the cilantro and olive oil; process to a puree.

I absolutly loved the dressing, but the salad needed more. I added slices of red/yellow/orange bell pepper for color. I did not include the celery. The dressing was EXCELLENT. Everyone at our meal, loved it. I added more cilantro and onion to the dressing as well as balsamic vinegar. I did alot of tasting and adding more cider vinegar or olive oil. But the next day I used the dressing as a marinade for salmon, it was great and then I also used the dressing in a sandwich. Really simple, but so many uses for this delightful dressing. Thank you!!

This was a good salad but lacked flavor for us. If I make this one again, I'd use less oil and more seasoning. I love cilantro but the flavor just didn't come through for us. Thank you for posting.

Great salad! Very simple tasting ingredients in the salad ,but it needs to be with the POP from that fabulous dressing. We were thinking that chunks of avacado would be outstanding added to the mix! Thanks so much Kate for posting this!

This was excellent. Next time, I'll be adding sliced radishes and grape tomatoes for colour and flavour. Sliced bits of mango would be a very good addition too.
