Chicago salad - Chicagosallad

CHICAGO SALAD
Chicagosallad

This salad contains a lot of food and thus excellent as a lunch or evening meal. You only need about 20 minutes to get it ready and it is delicious.

4 servings

5 oz bacon
4 slices white loaf bread, 1 day old
2½ oz fresh spinach
½ head of lettuce
½ head of iceberg lettuce
3½ to 4 oz blue cheese

Dressing:
2 crushed garlic cloves
2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon French mustard
½ tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1½ teaspoons dried tarragon
¼ cup olive oil
1/3 cup corn oil or other neutral oil
salt, white pepper

Fry the bacon in a frying pan until crisp. Drain it on paper towels. Trim the crusts off the bread and dice it. Fry until crisp and golden brown in the bacon fat. Cut spinach and lettuce in pieces and crumble the blue cheese (in Sweden we call it “ädelost” which would be translated right off as “noble cheese”!). Alternate all ingredients on a serving plate or in a salad bowl.

Shake together the ingredients for the dressing and add the oil while beating. Flavour to taste with salt and pepper. Serve the salad with the dressing.

Enjoy!
