No-Cook Roast Beef Salad With Goat Cheese and Balsamic

Thu, 23 Jul 2009 01:49:43 -0400

This recipe comes from REAL SIMPLE magazine Aug 2009 and is in their no cook section for the month. This salad is simple yet tasty. My guests gobbled it up and my family loved it. I use the dressing on other salads now too. It also can be used on sandwiches and as a marinade. Enjoy! ChefDLH -- posted by ChefDLH

Easy Tomato, Red Onion, and Kalamata Olive Summer Salad

Sun, 26 Jul 2009 13:42:24 -0400

This refreshingly-light summer salad is my absolute favorite way to enjoy vine-ripened summer tomatoes. It's a quick and easy tummy-satisfying dish on a warm midday when the last thing I want to do is turn on the stove. The juicy tomatoes, sweet onions and rich-tasting Kalamatas are dressed simply with olive oil, red wine vinegar, fresh herbs, salt and pepper. If desired, add whatever other garden veggies you enjoy - our family loves cucumbers; or add a slice of feta and some sliced green peppers and you've got a Greek village salad! Don't forget the crusty Italian bread to mop up the tomato and vinaigrette juices. -- posted by Feast Your Eyes!

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

Honey-Roasted Pear Salad With Thyme and Verjus Dressing

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 13:33:56 -0400

An elegant and sophisticated salad that makes good use of verjus (verjuice) in the dressing. I use a local blue cheese, such as Roquefort in this salad; however, please do use a local blue cheese of your choice - any creamy or robust blue cheese will marry well with the pears and tart dressing. Verjuice, or verjus, is the juice of unripe grapes. This staple of French provincial cooking, a key ingredient in Dijon mustard, has the tartness of lemon juice and the acidity of vinegar, but the harshness of neither. Its delicate flavour is ideal for everything from stocks to sweet syrups - as long as you know what you're doing. Verjus was also a common ingredient used in English cooking throughout the Middle Ages. I try to make a batch of verjus every year with the green grapes from my non-dessert grape vine - as I love cooking with it. This recipe came from an old copy of Bon Appetit magazine from 2005. Prep time includes the time it takes the pears to cool. -- posted by French Tart

The Realtor's Buttermilk Garlic Salad Dressing

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 02:02:12 -0400

I love this dressing! It's so creamy and delicious! If you are out of buttermilk, you can substitute 1/4 cup sour cream and 1/4 cup milk. I have done that many times with very good results. This one tastes great either way. Make it the day before you plan to use it if you can. That way the flavors will have time to blend. -- posted by Realtor by day, Chef by night

Spicy Peanut Thai Vegetable Salad

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 10:24:08 -0400

This is a very easy, amazingly tasty vegetable salad that takes minutes to make. The combination of all the greens, reds, orange and yellows in the vegetables make a wonderful presentation. It's the vinaigrette that brings all the veggies together. You can use any veggies you happen to have on hand; I think it would be great with tomatoes and lightly cooked asparagus. I made it at the last minute for a picnic with the veggies I had in my vegetable bin - everyone raved. I made it the next day for a work luncheon and had the same reviews. -- posted by Eight West

Cobb, Mediterranean, chopped, traditional, lettuce tomato, onion ... or you can make a all vegetable salad, a Mexican black bean and corn salad, fruit salad, chicken, shrimp or crab salad. The method is the same. But I love serving these at dinner parties. My last one I served a version of a caesar salad and put them in lettuce cups and served at a dinner party. They were a big hit. So, my favorite is a simple chopped salad, I love the traditional version for this. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Oregano Lamb Steaks With Lemon, Olive Oil and Feta Cheese Mash

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 11:49:02 -0400

Grilled lamb steaks served with a tangy lemon, feta cheese, and herby olive oil mash; this simple supper has bags of hearty, robust flavours, and is very easy to whip up. I always make extra feta, lemon and olive oil mash, so it can be used as a dip or a sandwich filling for another meal. Try to use fresh herbs wherever possible, they have a softer and more subtle flavour and truly make the lamb steaks sing! Serve this supper dish with jacket potatoes and a fresh mixed salad. The flavours in this recipe remind me of hot sunny days by the seaside here in South West France, the distant fragrance of herbs mingling with the salty air........free-range lamb would also be good - especially hill reared lamb that has a distinct herby flavour in the meat. I serve this in true French fashion with a glass of chilled Rosé wine. Bon appétit! (The inspiration for this dish came from Nigel Slater's wonderful grilled lamb with feta and lemon recipe..........I have altered it enough to call it mine though!) -- posted by French Tart

Delicious dairy-free version of cucumber dressing. I liked to use 2 small cucumbers, rather than 1 large because of the seeds. IF using a large or non-organic cucumber, make sure there is no wax on the peel, and scrap some of the seeds out! For a thicker, creamier dressing add more cashews and less water; for a thinner, lighter dressing add more water and fewer nuts. -- posted by Kozmic Blues

Andalouse French Fry / Burger Sauce

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 16:16:01 -0400

This is a fantastic sauce. It's similar to thousand island dressing although it uses fresh ingredients instead of a relish which gives it more of a gourmet twist. I put it on belgium frites, traditional french fries and hamburgers. I love it so much I've started keeping a jar in my fridge at all times. A good tip to finely blend all ingredients is to (carefully) use a cheese grater on the vegetables, that way you're using more of the juice from the vegetables. -- posted by OwlMonkey

Grilled Fig & Arugula Salad With Gorgonzola Toasts

Sat, 05 Dec 2009 12:10:15 -0500

From Cooking Light's special on Monticello-inspired recipes. This looks like it's too fancy and complicated for me to make, but looks delicious if someone else would make it for me! ;) Or if you have an actual grill; I live in the ghetto and could put a holey trash can lid over the stove. I don't know what "peasant bread" is but I assume it'd be a small baguette type of bread. I'm not a fan of balsamic vinegar, I'd probably use red wine vinegar or a different kind of dressing, but posting as is for those who like it. BTW, you'll need at least 6 grilling skewers for this. Probably strong 8" metal ones that could pierce figs. I wonder if I could make this work with a portable George Foreman grill! -- posted by the80srule

Christmas Broccoli Salad

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 17:03:43 -0500

This old favorite is dressed up with cranberries for the Christmas season but the salad is great for potlucks and summer picnics too. Cranberries, seeds and nuts can often been found together in a Deluxe Fruit and Nut mix. -- posted by Chef #1104568

Karen's Caesar Salad

Wed, 13 Jan 2010 16:55:24 -0500

This is the result of many years of trial and error...as well as the generous base recipe donated by a girlfriend about 27 years ago when we went on a girls' weekend to Mendocino and tried to out-cook each other. Her salad was a huge hit and eventually evolved to this recipe, which has been a family favorite ever since. The croutons are boxed/purchased but made special by sauteeing them in butter just before adding them to the salad. The dressing is mixed up in a blender in a matter of just a few minutes. Enjoy! -- posted by Epi Curious

Roasted Lemon & Onion Arugula Salad

Sat, 16 Jan 2010 18:42:07 -0500

It is really a nice light salad that goes with anything. The arugula is peppery and the tart lemon with the sweet onions are perfect. Pair it with anything. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Dagwood Salad

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 01:59:43 -0500

My mom always made this salad for BUNCO nights and I've been searching for the recipe for a long time. Mom is no longer around and her recipes are unavailable. I finally found it in a cookbook I have here at home. This is my all time favorite salad and dressing combo and I think this recipe I found finally got it right. Keep the salad, dressing, and bread separate until ready to serve or it gets all mushy. Shake the dressing well before adding to salad. -- posted by OKCPmed

This is great on oysters, grilled fish, chicken, and salads, or you can toss it with roasted or grilled veggies like asparagus and beets. This keeps for several days in the refrigerator. Came from The Big Sur bakery. -- posted by aronsinvest
