Walnut, Feta & Apple Tabbouleh

Thu, 25 Jun 2009 02:59:47 -0400

Not your usual Tabbouleh, this salad merely has a similar consistency and shares some common ingredients with its authentic cousin. It has a lot of crunch thanks to the apple, radish and walnuts, and involves no actual 'cooking'. The bulgur and dressing could easily be made a day in advance, but I do find it tastes best if the salad, fully combined, is allowed to sit for about 30 minutes to an hour before serving. Ideal to share, bring it along to your next potluck party! Serves 6-8 easily as a side. Prep time includes the 30 minutes it takes for the bulgur to soak. -- posted by magpie diner

Seven Layer Potato Salad

Thu, 25 Jun 2009 03:01:44 -0400

A new twist on the old favorite Seven Layer Salad, based on potato salad rather than the usual iceberg lettuce for something a bit more substantial. Bacon, eggs, peas, and cheese are traditional in a Seven Layer, but a little bite from radishes, onions, and a few surprise ingredients makes this one a little more interesting. -- posted by EmmyDuckie

Seaside Cottage Pasta Salad

Strawberry Tabbouleh

Thu, 25 Jun 2009 03:04:40 -0400

A refreshingly-different tabbouleh that would be a much-appreciated addition to a potluck. Just bring the parsley/bulgur component of the salad and the strawberry part in 2 different plastic containers and combine them before eating (so the strawberries don't get too mushy). Both the sweet and savoury elements of this salad complement each other so well...you won't be able to stop eating it! The biggest 'trick' to making this good is to make sure your parsley and mint are really dry before you start chopping them to a fine mince -- a salad spinner is great for this. -- posted by evelyn/athens

Baked Potato Salad - Loaded!

Thu, 25 Jun 2009 03:27:35 -0400

This is a delicious potato salad that celebrates the tastes of summer. I found that using only sour cream for the dressing made it a little too rich tasting, so the yogurt adds a bit of a bite. Topped with what I like to put on my baked potato, this is a colorful assortment of flavors that you can make for a potluck or summer picnic. -- posted by Nif

Easy Breezy Salad

Thu, 25 Jun 2009 03:36:44 -0400

The title says it all, this is an easy to make salad that you can take to a large potluck. Or at least to a potluck where the people plan to eat. It is healthy, and simple. Shall I include cook time? It only takes a few minutes to blanch the green beans. I used the largest red radishes I could find, just so I can have the most in my salad. -- posted by Studentchef

Creamy Seafood Pasta Salad

Thu, 25 Jun 2009 03:38:30 -0400

"Salad Envy": That's what they'll have when you show up at the next potluck with this creamy, colourful and delicious offering. You can tell them it's low in calories too, but they probably won't believe you. :wink: Substitute the shrimp with salmon, tuna or lobster for a different taste experience. Note: After several hours of chilling, the pasta will absorb some of the dressing. To return it to a creamier consistency, simply add one or two tablespoons of salad dressing. Cooking time does not include time for refrigeration. Created for the Craze-E Salad Contest. -- posted by Diana #2

Jelled Agar-Agar Sunshine Salad

Sun, 28 Jun 2009 17:37:10 -0400

From Recipes for Food Allergies by Marilyn Gioannini. For people who do not use gelatin, agar-agar is a good substitute - and a good food in its own right, rich in vitamins and minerals. This salad is very light and tasty. Agar-agar has the interesting quality that it does not have to be refrigerated to jell. You can take this salad on a picnic on a hot day, and it will not melt. -- posted by NELady

World's Best Tabbouli / Tabouli / Tabbouleh / Tabouleh Salad

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 11:18:19 -0400

This was one of the most popular dishes at Nancy Mehagian's vegetarian restaurant on the island of Ibiza and she shared it in her book "Sirens Feast: An Edible Odyssey". There are two secret (and essential) ingredients in this recipe - fine bulgur (which has the added benefit of cooking quickly) and tamari soy sauce. This really is the best tabbouleh you will ever make! Dish should be chilled before serving. -- posted by blucoat

Cranberry Delight

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 01:13:49 -0400

Can be served frozen or not, as either a salad or dessert. My cousin prepared this for me from a recipe she found, but hers used miniature marshmallows instead of cottage cheese. I like things less sweet, and more nourishing, so made the substitution. You can use different nuts than pecans - walnuts and hazelnuts are just as good (well, almost) in the recipe. I prefer it not quite frozen, but others like it best frozen. -- posted by Chef Suz

Corn-And-Tomato Scramble (Gourmet Summer Salad)

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 02:31:03 -0400

A simple and delicious recipe from Gourmet Magazine (July 2009) that highlights delicious fresh summer ingredients. The corn is sautéed with scallions in butter, the tomatoes are lightly dressed with oil and cider vinegar, and then the two components are tossed together so that their flavors and juices mix into something new. The leftovers are great too! -- posted by blucoat

Great American Potato Salad

Caramel Apple Salad (Fluffy Apple Salad)

Thu, 16 Jul 2009 14:12:14 -0400

I got this recipe from my little sister. It was called Caramel Apple Salad, but I personally don't think butterscotch pudding tastes like caramel apples... nonetheless, it is a delightful sweet side dish/salad or dessert. Other recipes I've seen on 'Zaar all have pineapple, so I am posting this one as it does not. I prefer Granny Smith or another tart apple in this salad as it is quite sweet, but you can use whatever apples you have on hand. :) Prep time includes chilling time; may also be frozen. -- posted by Anissa Wolf

Wheat Berry Salad With Red Fruit

Sun, 26 Jul 2009 13:42:14 -0400

For this sweet and tart salad, wheat berries are blended with cranberries, apples and pecans and tossed in a raspberry vinaigrettea winning combination. A perfect side dish to take to a potluck or simply serve it over a bed of peppery arugula for vegan lunch. Recipe from Eating Well March/April 2007. NOTE: cooking time is resting time. If you wish to sweeten your salad up a bit but don't have Agave, feel free to sub 1 T of honey. Also of note, using peaches and mango in place of the red fruit (thereby making this wheat berry salad with ORANGE fruit) would be delightful!!!! This salad is even better on day 2, so it's a great make ahead recipe. -- posted by JanuaryBride

Yep, another bean salad recipe. This one is a bit different with its marinade ingredients. It's my mom's favorite for every get-together. It's also great for potlucks and picnics. I always come home with an empty bowl. Prepare ahead of time to let the flavors meld for 24 hours, then drain off the marinade juices. (Marinating time is not included in prep time listed.)

Easy Potato Salad With Complete Instructions

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 03:48:22 -0400

A potato salad which is universally enjoyed and really easy to prepare. The dressing is heated prior to blending but it goes really fast and turns out perfect every time. This is a great "beginner's recipe" because I have listed detailed instructions on both how to cook the potatoes and how to boil the eggs to ensure a no-fail experience. I wanted to remark that this makes one of the best potato salads for cold potato salad midnight snack sandwiches. Of course, this is also the perfect covered dish. For lots of smiles, serve this with my Southern Fried Chicken, posted here on Recipezaar. Finally, if you must have sweet pickles in your potato salad, just add 1/2 cup of drained sweet relish at the blending stage. I did not include the 4-hour refrigeration period at the end in the cooking time. Enjoy! -- posted by Bone Man

I got this recipe from my buddy Wes which was a dish that his grandmother always made. People are sometimes afraid to try this 'cause the ingredients may seem strange, but I'm telling you, it's AWESOME! And once they try it they can't get enough. Also, don't be afraid of the canned peas, they really do work better than fresh or frozen. This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for larger groups. I hope you enjoy! -- posted by Lovin' Life

There are many variations of this recipe. I got this version from a coworker. This recipe is vegetarian, but be sure you read the ingredients on your Ramen Noodles. Not all oriental-flavored noodles are vegetarian. For non-vegetarians, I've heard of adding chicken instead of the tofu. Enjoy! -- posted by Chef #585105

Cook's Illustrated Make-Ahead Potato Salad for a Crowd

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 01:50:26 -0400

This is a very good potato salad from the folks at America's Test Kitchen. I must confess that I love dill pickles and prefer that flavor to sweet pickle relish. I wound up adding a couple dill pickles and some dill pickle juice to this recipe (just a personal preference) and quite a few more eggs. Here are the tips from Cook's Illustrated: If you only have celery salt available, use the same amount but omit the salt in the dressing. When testing potatoes for doneness taste a piece. If you overcook they will become mealy and break apart. The potatoes must be just warm or even fully cooled when you add the dressing. If you find the potato salad a little dry for your liking, add up to 2 tablespoons more mayonnaise. Serving size is estimated. -- posted by AmyZoe

It improves on standing so if I'm wanting to take it to a BBQ or pot luck dinner, I'll make it the day before then chill it over night. The brown rice gives it a lovely nutty, chewy texture in a sweet sour dressing. Everyone will be coming back for more and want the recipe. Enjoy! -- posted by jodz

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 14:38:12 -0500

Simple, refreshing and delicious! Juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumbers and crunchy onion combine with Miracle Whip to make an unbelievably delicious salad! You will be surprised and delighted...the juice from the tomatoes combines so well with the Miracle Whip, you'll never know that Miracle Whip is in it once the flavors have combined. You may be tempted to add something to it, it seems too simple to be good, but try it like this first, I guarantee you'll like it! I make it often for potlucks and BBQ's and people are always amazed at the simplicity of this recipe. Family legend is that relatives from California always made this salad and so it was dubbed 'California Salad'. Can easily be made low/non-fat, but I prefer the regular version. It is also great as a 'relish' on grilled meats, especially brats. This is also a very 'forgiving' recipe...I never measure anything, just throw it together. Just remember the veggie ratio is 1:1:1 and you'll do fine! **Unless you live in a warm climate and can grow or get locally grown tomatoes all year long, don't bother making this in the winter! Fresh, ripe juicy tomatoes are the key to making this salad** Easily doubled or tripled, but yield will vary depending on size of the vegetables. "Cooking time" is refrigerator time! -- posted by The Frugal Cheflady

Dijonnaise Potato Salad

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 01:07:45 -0500

Taken from an ad for Hellmann's Dijonnaise Creamy Mustard Blend. My mum lost this recipe recently and it turned into a bit of a crisis when we couldn't find a comparable one online, as this is the best one we've found (and just about the only potato salad I'll eat), so when we found it again, we agreed that it should be preserved on here in case it goes missing in the future! -- posted by Torricus

Southwest Four Bean Salad Supreme

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 11:37:13 -0500

Tim and I came up with this recipe after having a deli salad that we thought we could make on our own...and better. This is a very versatile recipe. I have served it on a bed of greens and have added chopped grilled chicken on occasion. You can also add a can of quartered artichoke hearts and a jar of chopped roasted red bell peppers. ( Be sure to drain both.) It's a great day before shopping recipe as most ingredients are canned, bottled or frozen. Be prepared...this makes enough to take to a potluck. It makes approx. 18 cups. -- posted by Laura911RN

Great for bringing to dinner parties with vegetarians! Can also be made with balsamic vinegar instead of red wine vinegar. Also, try subbing in cucumber (or just adding it). I use Unico bean medley, but any beans you like will work! -- posted by MissingWhiteWings
