Original recipe serves 10. Current scale: 1x.
When I lived in Elko, Nevada, I dined at the local Basque houses quite regularly. The meals are served "family style" and every meal begins with soda bread, cabbage soup, and a green salad. I got this recipe from a former co-worker who use to work at one of the Basque houses, so it's a pretty authentic recipe. It is simple, but has a lot of flavor, especially if you like garlic! This salad is best served with chicken or steak.

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 hard-boiled egg, finely chopped
- salad greens (the Basque houses use only head luttuce, but you can use whatever salad greens you like)
Instructions
Mix all of the ingredients together.
Chill until ready to serve.
Lightly drizzle the dressing over fresh salad greens and toss until evenly coated.
It is a very strong and flavorful dressing, so you may want to play around with the amount of dressing you add to suit your personal taste.
Caution: Do not mix the salad dressing with the salad greens until you are ready to eat or the greens will wilt.
