Reviews
Not only was the original reviews great but my girlfriends and i decided to check out the restaurant. And the new salads are amazing especially their Thai steak salad. Now i want the recipe for that JILL Hennessy
I’ve been looking for some chopped salads & this is a great one. I took the advice of another reviewer and I cut this dressing in half–except I used a scant cup of oil. I also used white wine vinegar instead of sherry vinegar. For the salad I used chopped Romaine instead of mint though a bit of mint might give it a nice flavor.. The salad was a hit. Definitely a keeper.
The best salad I’ve had in ages.
Thank you Jill for letting us enjoy your delicious salad at home. I will make it and eat it while we are watching your show: Crossing Jordan.
This is an awesome recipe. Waaay too much dressing though. You could easily half the dressing and still have more than enough for the salad. My 15 year old and 9 year old liked it as well. Excellent!
Really loved this chopped salad! It’s a great all-purpose dressing–love the sherry vinegar with the capers & mustard. As written this makes a huge amount–I scaled it down for 4 people (still with enough dressing left over for 2-3 more salads): 1/2 shallot, ~4 tbsp sherry vinegar, about a half a cup of olive oil, and heaping tablespoon of spicy mustard (would be great with good old dijon, I’m sure), salt & pepper. For the salad: 1/2 cucumber (seeds scraped out), 1/2 head radicchio, 1/2 bunch watercress, 1/2 romaine heart (rounds out the salad nicely), one chopped tomato, about 1/2 cup of Bulgarian feta, and about a half a cup of chopped Kalamata olives. Loved it!
Wonderful flavor and so good for you.
