Pineapple Cream Dip for Fruit, Chicken Fingers, Shrimp Etc...

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 02:25:09 -0400

This dip is so good you'll want to eat it with a spoon! It's really great served with a fruit platter, chicken fingers, coconut shrimp and so much more. My friend serves it with her baked ham. We like it chunky but if you want it smooth, put everything in the blender and give it a whirl for a minute or 2. You can easily double this recipe or cut it in half for a smaller group. -- posted by Realtor by day, Chef by night

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

The Realtor's Corn Salad

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 02:01:51 -0400

This is really quick and easy to make using canned corn. I like to use Green Giant brand corn, the Niblets in the short, squatty cans but you can use your favorite brand. Be sure to make this a day ahead so that the flavors have a chance to blend together. It really tastes better the next day! -- posted by Realtor by day, Chef by night

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

My modifications to #116054. The Israeli couscous really makes this a wonderful salad. A small round pasta such as Pearl Pasta can also be substituted. Can be served right away, but best if refrigerated for a few hours. Great for using up tomatoes and basil from the garden.

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

After the Party is Over! Refreshing Detox Fresh Fruit Salad

Sun, 27 Dec 2009 14:50:57 -0500

A wonderful brunch recipe for the morning after or when you need an early boost for a busy day ahead; although this is super healthy and refreshing, I have also served this as the dessert dish for a buffet, BUT with champagne as the liquid instead of orange juice! (Just another idea for dressing this fresh fruit salad up with frills!) This is not only healthy, but it is SO festive and colourful - my photo shows the one I made this Boxing Day (26th December), I usually add kiwi fruit too, but we had run out of them.......oooops! My quantities listed here make enough for 6 to 8 people, but this can be increased as well as reduced to suit personal requirements. I normally serve this with crème fraiche or vanilla yoghurt, but its also wonderful when served naked, the salad that is, not me! The fruits I have suggested are rich in vitamins and antioxidants for a quick mental boost, as well as a rapid detox to aid recovery after a heavy night or after indulging in rich food, but please do adapt this to your own seasonal and local produce if you wish. -- posted by French Tart

Shrimp Pasta Salad With Dry Mix

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 14:06:30 -0500

This recipe was one that a person was able to purchase as a dry mix and add the remainder of the ingredients fresh. The person who made these 'Carla' printed a book of the recipes and sold it and quit making them herself. This is handy to have made up in packets and then put together when wanted. -- posted by Colorado Lauralee

Chicken Salad

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 16:27:55 -0500

An easy throw together chicken salad that has the right amount of crunch from the fresh vegetables. Great for brunches, wedding/baby showers, or any picnic & get togethers. This salad goes great with Whole Wheat Ritz crackers or on toasted Rye bread! Chicken can be left chunky if preparer would prefer it that way. I feel the chicken stays better on the cracker/toasted bread if ground up a little bit. Can be served after chilling for a few hours or made a day ahead and chilled over night. -- posted by Mrs. Kristin
