    What makes the green jacket salad so famous?

    Augusta, GA natives, miss the Green Jacket Restaurant, but their Green Jacket Salad lives on. While growing up in Augusta, it was always a special treat to dine at Augusta's Green Jacket Restaurant located across the street from Augusta National's main gate.

    I remember the excitement of walking into the slightly dimmed rooms permeated with the smell of steaks cooking on a grill. As a kid, I always thought it was fun to be handed their menu because it was the shape of a golf bag full of clubs.

    Fresh linen tablecloths and napkins would greet you as you sat down at your table. The "Jacket" we lovingly call the restaurant was a master at cooking steaks. (no pun intended) Actually, everything on the menu was delicious, from the Green Jacket Steak Teriyaki to Tee to Green boneless sirloin.

    All dinners included a trip to the 22 item salad bar where you could also get the now-famous Green Jacket Salad.

    Why is it called the Green Jacket salad?

    The restaurant was located across the street from Augusta National and took on the name of the most prestigious award in sports, The Masters' Green Jacket.

    To locals, the restaurant's salad was always a favorite. The Junior League of Augusta printed the recipe for the dressing in their Second Round cookbook. From then on, it became a go-to recipe to take to parties and potlucks.

    Top Tips

    This is a simple salad recipe however there are a few important tips.

    • Always use fresh, crisp lettuce. I like using a combination of Romain and leaf lettuce.
    • When making the dressing be sure to use fresh, finely chopped parsley.
    • The oregano must be dried.
    • I believe they baked their own pita chips years ago; however, now it is easy to find bagged baked pita chips at your local grocery.

    What to serve with the salad

    Instant Pot Roast Beef and Lots of Gravy is a quick and easy dinner recipe that would go perfect with this Green Jacket Salad. Using an instant pot creates a tender, delicious roast with plenty of gravy to top a side of mashed potatoes.
