Lemon Caesar Salad with Latke Croutons
The Fresh Express® Twisted Lemon Caesar Chopped Salad Kit® topped with latke croutons makes a special first course salad for Hanukkah or any family gathering.
Ingredients
- 3 (9.1-ounce) packages Fresh Express® Twisted Lemon Caesar Chopped Salad Kits®
- 2 pounds large russet potatoes, peeled
- 2 large yellow onions
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/3 cup flour
- Canola oil
- 2 red apples, diced
Instructions
- Grate the potatoes and onions on the large holes of a box grater. Place in a colander set over a bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Press the mixture with a wooden spoon to drain out the moisture. Transfer the grated vegetables into a clean dish towel. Roll the towel and then firmly twist the ends, holding the towel over a bowl, to extract the remaining liquid.
- Place vegetables into a large bowl; add the eggs and flour; mix well.
- Form cakes with a heaping tablespoon of the potato mixture; place on a sheet pan. Repeat to make two dozen cakes.
- Fill a large saucepan with 1/4-inch of canola oil. Heat oil over medium heat until sizzling.
- Working in batches, cook the latkes for 2 to 3 minutes, turning once, until golden-brown on both sides.
- Transfer the latkes to another sheet pan lined with paper towels; keep warm. Continue making latkes, adding more oil as necessary to the pan.
- Place the lettuce from the Fresh Express® Twisted Lemon Caesar Chopped Salad Kits® into a large bowl; toss with the salad dressings. Add the toppings; toss to combine.
- Divide the salad evenly among eight plates. Top each with three latkes and diced apple.
