Marmie's Taco Salad

Fri, 22 May 2009 01:54:09 -0400

This taco salad is perfect for a potluck or a lovely summer meal! I constantly get requests to make this salad. Easily prepared ahead of time and tossed together at the last minute. I am not sure where the original idea came from for this recipe but it has truly 'morphed' into one of our family favorites. Absolutely versatile and forgiving should you be missing an ingredient or two...just use your imagination and substitute. The key ingredient is the sauce!!! It is crazy easy to make and tastes fantastic!! Way less costly than 'Catalina' dressing and a hundred times tastier. Sadly though I have not figured out how to make it diet friendly.. For a vegetarian version I use a variety of beans and omit the ground beef... equally as delicious. Prep time includes cooking the beef. Enjoy. -- posted by Marmie's

Marmie's Ever Changing Multi Bean Salad

Sat, 23 May 2009 17:40:14 -0400

This is the perfect blend of Tangy/Sweetness, it is remarkably mild, not oily and is hugely versatile! Wonderful for picnics, lunches to go or just an added side at dinner. I do NOT like apple cider vinegar but in this recipe it is fabulous, especially for bean salad skeptics like me. I make it in a one gallon ice cream pail and store it in the fridge, when it begins to run out I add a can of what ever bean I have on hand and a few more red onions. I can do this until the 'brine' runs out. Then I just start all over again and always have it on hand. Fresh cooked beans have a nicer texture and are more cost efficient than canned but canned is yummy too, though do contain lots of sodium. So if you are on a sodium restricted diet, I would suggest cooking dry beans and fresh green and yellow beans for this recipe. Enjoy! -- posted by Marmie's

Pita Pockets With Parsley and Chick-Pea Salad

Sat, 23 May 2009 18:17:04 -0400

This can either be a light lunch or served as a salad that you eat with your hands! It can be prepared the day before and taken, refrigerated, to a picnic at the lake or beach or camping. From a July 1986 issue of Bon Appetit magazine in the "Great Cook" section in a menu that featured a Fourth of July Cookout on the Lake. -- posted by Leslie in Texas

Clean Eating Edamame Salad

Tue, 26 May 2009 01:31:21 -0400

Entered for safe-keeping. From Clean Eating, May/June 2009. This Japanese salad has a good proportion of protein to carbohydrates for a light lunch, but this will be more filling if served with brown rice.

You'll find bowls of "Kidney Bean Salad" (it's more of an appetizer or dip, than a salad) served throughout New England at many quaint taverns and pubs, where you can spread it on a cracker and enjoy it along with a cocktail or two. It is positively addictive!! -- posted by Alan in SW Florida

Chickpea Salad Sandwiches

Tue, 09 Jun 2009 01:21:36 -0400

After becoming a vegetarian, I missed certain sandwiches that I used to make on a regular basis. In an effort to substitute, I came up with this faux chicken salad-esque spread that is delicious on whole grain bread or in a pita pocket! It is an easy go-to because I usually have everything in my pantry. Substitute any ingredients that you might use in your chicken or tuna salad! -- posted by Miss_Elaine

Three Bean Salad for a Crowd

This is quick and delicious. Best made 2-3 days in advance of the party, so it's one less thing you have to do on the day of the party. I have cut down on the oil that is usually used for this salad, but it's not missed. I use Splenda instead of sugar, but you can substitute sugar if you prefer it. -- posted by Pesto lover

Thai-Style Black Bean Salad

Mon, 22 Jun 2009 10:11:31 -0400

This is so flavorful and yummy! I cannot take credit for it however, I found it in the Healthy Cooking magazine and wanted to share it with everyone! So refreshing, would taste great on a burger or chicken sandwich. It tastes a lot like the topping of the quesadilla explosion salad from Chili's! I actually used a whole lime instead of 1 T. of juice and zested it. I also used a bit more salt after it sat for awhile! -- posted by Ashley S.

This main dish salad has been a family favorite for about 40 years. My adaptation is from a submission by Marla Norris to the "Salads" book published by the Women's Club of Costa Rica, 1970. Excellent for a warm summer day served with fresh garlic French bread. Meat may be prepared the day before. Make enough for seconds!

Chickpea and Couscous Salad

Sun, 26 Jul 2009 10:10:21 -0400

There's a little cafe close to where i live that makes this salad and it is absolutely divine! It tastes even better when its been made a day or so ahead as the dressing goes right through the salad, soaked up by the couscous and sultanas. This recipe does make quite a lot, we use it as a side dish and it feeds my family for a few nights! However, the recipe can easily be halved. Use vegetable stock powder to make vegetarian. -- posted by Hayley_11

Curried Quinoa Salad With Yogurt-Cumin Dressing

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 02:19:30 -0400

This is a "flexitarian" recipe - meaning, it's readily adaptable to a vegetarian/non-vegetarian version - a boon for those who have to deal with both in a household. While this recipe is vegetarian, the author, Dawn Jackson Blatner, says 4 ozs of cooked salmon or tuna can be used instead of the chickpeas. Check your quinoa package for prep information - usually quinoa needs to be washed to get rid of a bitter coating, although it sometimes comes pre-washed. -- posted by duonyte

Balsamic Skirt Steak, Fresh Greens, Pea & White Bean Puree

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 16:04:46 -0400

This is a go to meal I entertain with. Not only is it worthy of serving to company, but it is easier than it looks. Each part is so simple and can be made ahead. It is very cost effective and is amazing flavor. I love this steak recipe. Even though the marinade is basic it is the combination with the balsamic vinaigrette and the creamy peas and beans and the fresh greens which brings it all together. I now a mix of peas and beans sound odd, but this is a great creamy flavor. The grilled tomato makes a great side to the chilled salad and creamy beans. -- posted by SarasotaCook

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.) It's soooo good! -- posted by DuChick

Fresh Corn, Black Beans, and Tomato Salad

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 11:26:42 -0400

Another great tasting recipe from Cook's Illustrated: Fresh off the cob is perhaps the best way to eat summer corn, but corn tossed with beans and tomatoes is a close second. The sweetness of the beans and the acidity of the tomatoes bring out the flavor of the corn. We wanted to find the best way to combine and flavor this trio. Heres what we discovered: Boil the ears of corn until just tender, then cool them quickly under running water so that they dont overcook. Canned black beans taste fine, as long as you rinse and drain them thoroughly to remove any of the liquid in which they come packed. Choose sweet-tasting, firm-textured grape or cherry tomatoes. They release less watery juice into the salad than diced full-size tomatoes do. -- posted by Pi-E

I wanted something that was cool, crunchy, tangy, spicy and a little sweet that would meet my diet requirements and was not your typical diet food. This is my version of a fresh veggie relish/salad that is great alone or when paired with seafood, beef, pork etc... Perfect in a warmed flour tortillas wrap with some shrimp, or a lettuce wrap with a bit of Avacado. It can be used with seafood, chicken, beef or pork as a relish. Or as I like it, alone for lunch. High fiber, low fat and awesome taste. I hope you enjoy it. XOXOXOXOXO Lynn -- posted by Hugsandkisses

Greek-Style Chickpea Salad

Sun, 25 Oct 2009 21:19:39 -0400

As the Summer of Death and Bizarre Weather comes to a close, so does Healthy and Delicious' occasional series on mayo-less salads. Our fourth and final recipe is Greek-Style Chickpea Salad from Cooks Illustrated Best Light Recipe. A chickpea-based concoction, it relies on cucumber for freshness, onion for zest, and a smattering of feta cheese for tang (or, as some are wont to call it, feta-ey-ness). Everything balances perfectly with the dressing. Too often, grain and bean salads are over-dressed, leaving the contents to stew in a pool of flavored grease. Its not good for healthy eating or the texture of the food. This dish bucks that trend by using just the right ratio of lemon juice, Dijon mustard, olives, and olive oil. It clings lightly to the chickpeas instead of drenching them. And whether youre concerned about weight or leaky Tupperware at your Labor Day picnic, this is undoubtedly a good thing. Oh, and its delicious, too, as Cooks Illustrated recipes tend to be. The Best Light Recipe tome is quickly becoming an all-star of my cookbook collection, joining the ranks of their Best 30-Minute Recipe book and Christopher Kimball's The Cook's Bible. All are highly suggested reading. Enjoy the end of your mayo-less summers. See you in the mayo-less autumn. -- posted by Delia (Chef #1058821)

Black Eyed Pea Balsamic Salad

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 10:05:22 -0500

I got this at a farmer's market in Texas. A chef from one of the local resturants was demonstrating how to use the veggies of the season. This is a hit on New Year's day, the legend being that you eat black eyed peas on New Years day to insure health, wealth and happiness. Not so sure about the wealth, but health an happiness are great. You can use either fresh or frozen peas, but not canned and can substitue finely diced ham for the bacon. Good eating. -- posted by liral

Potato/Root Salad With Lima Beans

This recipe was very broadly adapted from the Kingsolver book, Animal Vegetable Miracle. I wanted to create a potato salad without mayonnaise for a picnic, so that any leftovers would keep well enough for future lunches. For potatoes I recommend Yukon Golds, and I recommend that the lima (butter) beans be fresh. Celeriac is also known as celery root. Depending on what is available, turnips would work as well as celeriac. (For the photo, the beans are a mix of lima and cranberry beans.) -- posted by Diann is Cooking

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

Mom's Tangy Bean Salad

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
