green onion
Friday, November 5th, 2010
Ingredients:
12 Dandy® romaine hearts leaves (two per serving)
1 cup diced cooked turkey or chicken
1 cup diced avocado
1 cup diced tomato
1 cup chopped hard boiled eggs
1 cup crumbled blue cheese
1 cup crumbled cooked bacon
12 blanched ¼ inch wide strands of leek ends, green onions or 6 society garlic leaves
6 ounces of favorite dressing, Ranch, Caesar or Italian
Directions:
- In a large bowl combine diced cooked turkey or chicken, avocado, tomato, hard boiled eggs, crumbled blue cheese, crumbled bacon and dressing tossing gently.
- Fill one of the romaine leaves with 1 cup of filling and place the other leave on top.
- Tie together in the middle with blanched leek or green onion. (For leeks and green onions you will need to tie two together to make the tie long enough to wrap around the middle. Society garlic leaves are usually long enough so you just need one per wrap.)
