Shrimp Louie Salad
26 Jul 2007

The Front Door's SHRIMP LOUIE SALAD hasn't made it to our printed menu yet, but it's still a wildly popular lunch item available as a "special" almost every day of the week.  Our version starts with a bed of fresh salad greens, which are topped with hard-boiled eggs, steamed fresh asparagus, black olives and a mound of boiled, peeled shrimp.  The final touch is the classic Louie dressing, made from scratch, of course.  This dressing works equally well on basic mixed greens, or as a dip for fresh veggies.  It's simple to make and keeps for 4-5 days in the fridge. 
 
 

LOUIE SALAD DRESSING 

Mayonnaise    1-1/4 cup
Red Wine Vinegar    6 Tbsp.
Chile Sauce    2/3 cup
Garlic, minced    1 Tbsp.
Sugar    2 tsp.
Green Onion, chopped    2 stalks
Sweet Pickle Relish    1/2 cup

Blend all ingredients together in a food processor to combine completely.  Small pieces of green onion and relish should remain visible.  Chill until ready to use.
