Servings: 4

Inspired by the salty, savory vibes of a dirty martini, this bold Romaine Hearts salad layers
rotisserie chicken, olives, croutons, and basil under a briny white dressing, with a vibrant pesto
drizzle over the top. It’s cocktail hour meets salad — and it looks as good as it tastes.
● 5oz Earthbound Farm Romaine Hearts
● 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
● ½ cup Castelvetrano olives
● ½ cup croutons
● ¼ cup fresh basil leaves, torn
For the Dirty Martini White Dressing:
● ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt or mayo
● 1 tablespoon olive oil
● 2 tablespoons olive brine (from the olive jar)
● 1 tablespoon lemon juice
● 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
● ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
● Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
For the Pesto Drizzle:
● 3 tablespoons pesto (store-bought or homemade)
● 1–2 teaspoons olive oil (to thin, if needed)
In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt (or mayo), olive oil, olive brine, lemon juice, Dijon
mustard, garlic powder (if using), and black pepper until creamy and smooth. Adjust seasoning
to taste — it should be bright, salty, and slightly tangy.
In another small bowl, stir the pesto with a little olive oil to loosen it into a pourable consistency.
In a large bowl, arrange the romaine hearts, shredded rotisserie chicken, olives, croutons, and
torn basil leaves.
Drizzle the white Dirty Martini Dressing generously over the salad, then lightly drizzle the pesto
in thin streams across the top for a vibrant, swirled look.
Finish with extra basil leaves and freshly cracked pepper. Serve immediately.
