Corned-Beef Salad with Thousand Island Dressing and Rye Croutons Recipe

Corned-Beef Salad with Thousand Island Dressing and Rye Croutons Recipe

  • 3 cups 1/4-inch cubes rye bread
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cooking oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • Dash Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon pickle relish
  • 1 hard-cooked egg, chopped
  • 3 scallions, white bulbs and green tops chopped and reserved separately
  • 1 head green leaf lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
  • 1/2 head iceberg lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
  • 1/2 pound sliced corned beef, cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips
  1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Put the bread cubes on a baking sheet and toss them with the oil and 1/4 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper. Bake, stirring occasionally, until the croutons are crisp and starting to brown, 5 to 10 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add the pickle relish, the egg, and the scallion bulbs and stir to combine.
  3. In a large bowl, toss together the lettuces, scallion tops, and corned beef. Serve topped with the dressing and the croutons.
