"To
make a good salad is to be a brilliant diplomat - the problem is entirely
the same in both cases. To know how much oil to mix in with one's vinegar."

Layered Chef's Salad
with
Tuna Mayonnaise Dressing
The Silver Palate Good Times Cookbook
by Julee Rosso & Sheila Lukins with Sarah Leah Chase,
1985,
Workman Publishing Co., Inc.
“A chef’s salad is so
often the expected. Not ours, made with fresh basil,
sun-dried tomatoes,
smoked mozzarella, salami, smoked turkey, and
arugula, then served
with a
delicate tuna mayonnaise – reminiscent
of vitello tonnato. This salad
must
be made 6 to 24 hours before
serving and should be arranged in a
large glass bowl
with straight
sides to show off all the layers.”
3
cups mixed torn greens (romaine,
red
leaf lettuce, radicchio, and arugula)
4 scallions, sliced
3 ripe tomatoes, seeded and sliced
4 sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil),
drained and chopped
1 cup fresh basil leaves
12 ounces smoked mozzarella cheese
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 cup alfalfa sprouts
1 medium-size red onion, sliced
1/2 cup Niçoise olives, pitted
4 ounces hard salami, cut into julienne
4 hard-cooked eggs, peeled
Salt, to taste
8 ounces smoked turkey breast, cut into julienne
1 sweet red pepper, cored, seeded, cut into julienne
1/2 cup torn arugula leaves
1 jar (6 ounces) marinated artichoke hearts,
drained and sliced
5 ounces prosciutto, cut into julienne
1 pound asparagus or broccoli florets, blanched
Tuna Mayonnaise (recipe follows)
1. Toss
the greens with 2 of the sliced scallions in a large glass bowl.
Top
with the fresh tomatoes and then with the sun-dried
tomatoes. Sprinkle half of
the basil over the tomatoes.
2. Thinly
slice 8 ounces of the mozzarella and arrange on the basil layer.
Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Grate the remaining
4 ounces mozzarella and set aside.
3. Top
the sliced cheese with separate layers of alfalfa sprouts, onion,
half the
olives, and all the salami.
4. Process
the eggs, the remaining 2 scallions and salt and pepper to taste in a food
processor fitted with the steel blade just until the eggs are chopped. Spoon on top of the salami layer.
5. Place
the turkey julienne over the eggs. Then
add the red pepper and scatter with the 1/2 cup arugula. Layer artichoke hearts on top of the arugula and cover with the
prosciutto julienne.
6. Top
with the remaining basil leaves, sprinkle with more pepper, and
add the
reserved grated mozzarella. Make
a final layer of the asparagus, arranged in a spoke pattern, or the
broccoli florets.
7. Make
the tuna mayonnaise. Spread a
thick layer of the tuna mayonnaise on top of the salad. Garnish with the remaining olives.
8. Cover
with plastic wrap and refrigerate 6 to 24 hours.
9. Use
2 large salad spoons to get down through all the layers to serve the
salad. 6 portions.
