Tuna and Egg Salad Divine

Sun, 05 Apr 2009 21:59:19 -0400

DH asks me to make this once a week and I don't oblige because it's a great lunch or snack for him when I'm not home or don't feel like cooking. I'll either serve it cold to him on fresh wheat bread, or if I have time I will use Sourdough bread, add a slice of cheese, and make him a tuna melt. I prefer not to use a bunch of mayo or miracle whip, I don't like it to overpower the tuna. -- posted by Melvin'sWifey

Roasted Vegetable Pasta

Sun, 19 Apr 2009 23:38:16 -0400

I have recently joined a "Biggest Loser" group in my town and one of our assignments for the week was to randomly pick a recipe from a stack of cards and make it for our family. I would definately recommend making this when the veggies are in season as it is expensive when they are not!! I also prefer to sprinkle mine with a little sea salt or parmesean cheese -- posted by crmsonbuterfly

Sunflower Crunch Salad (With Ramen!)

Wed, 22 Apr 2009 00:45:15 -0400

Ok - this is one of those recipes that sounds questionable & becomes more appealing when the budget closes in. We used to make this a hundred years ago when we were in college on tight budgets... Time passed, the recipe was lost & today it showed up in an email from The Witchita Eagle! It's cheap, not entirely bad for you with the fresh vegies (& nuts) & tastes unbelievably good! LOL - am adding cabbage to the shopping list because mine in the garden are just too small! There was no serving size listed so I opted for 4 to 6 - you'll see. Awesome potluck or picnic dish - just mix vegies, ramen & dressing on site & serve. -- posted by Buster's friend

Superfood Salad With Moroccan Dressing

Scallop Salad W/Baby Red Potatoes & Creamy Vinaigrette

Wed, 22 Apr 2009 12:44:22 -0400

This is such a nice refreshing main dish salad for a warm spring or summer evening. It's different than the usual ways we serve scallops and that's what I like about it. You need to boil the potatoes and cool them completely so do this earlier in the day. I make the vinaigrette then, too so the flavors have time to blend. The chilling time is not included in the prep time so be sure to remember this. I found this one in a magazine a while back. -- posted by Realtor by day, Chef by night

Tuscan Tomato Bread Salad

Sun, 26 Apr 2009 21:11:13 -0400

I'm gathering the fresh tomato recipes as I have grown an unbelievable number of fantastic tomato varieties. Thanks to Sunset who got this recipe from Executive Chef Brandon Miller of Stokes Adobe Restaurant in Monterey, California. He uses at least two colors of tomatoes in this salad - no problemo! This recipe also makes use of summer greens, basils & peppers which we hope to have in abundance too! Better eaten the same day it is made. -- posted by Buster's friend

Make ahead & let marinate an hour or so at room temp to let flavors develop. Mmmmm, delicious!! We tend to increase the parsley &/or cilantro if that's all we've currently got in the garden. The more parsley the better! -- posted by Buster's friend

Shrimp, Mango and Avocado Salad W/ Passion Fruit Vinaigrette

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 14:55:14 -0400

I have been on a big fruit and salad kick over the past couple days. I think am an trying to counteract that rainy London weather with eating things that remind me of places like the Caribbean or Mexico. This is what I threw together for lunch today and it ended up being pretty tasty. I used a lettuce that in the UK is called 'little gem lettuce' but romaine would work well too. -- posted by Sarah_Jayne

Mangia Mangia Balsamic Vinaigrette on Baby Greens

Tue, 05 May 2009 12:20:12 -0400

Says Chef Eliot Barton of Mangia Mangia restaurant in Key West, "This is the only dressing available at Mangia Mangia." He recommends using high quality vinegars and olive oils and adds, "The little bit of water reduces acidity but retains the fine flavor of the vinegar. Inexpensive vinegars are already too diluted. Look for vinegars in the range of 6 % acidity." From "The Florida Keys Cookbook" -- posted by FloridaNative

Carrot and Beet Salad With Coconut Lime Dressing

Fri, 15 May 2009 10:56:39 -0400

Fast, perfectly refreshing & vivid magenta (unless using golden beets). An awesome salad that is the perfect introduction to those not acquainted with the glories of raw beets. This recipe is from the New Orleans Vegetarian Society - published in The Times-Picayune. Oh & did I mention the dressing becomes magenta? BTW - this salad is really, really good for you - reduce the dressing if the calories from the coconut milk worry you - save half for the next salad. BTW beets & carrots are great beginner gardener vegetables - everyone loves pulling a beautiful carrot or beet from the ground. -- posted by Buster's friend

Penne With Roasted Tomatoes and Fennel

Sat, 16 May 2009 10:34:37 -0400

Marcelle Bienvenu, contributing write for The Times-Picayune, included this exquisite summer pasta salad in her article giving the "heads up" that the famous & beloved Creole tomatoes are just about ready to start coming to market. The Creole tomato is a fabulous tomato, a phenomenal workhorse in hot & humid conditions that kill off other tomato plants. In LA it is also imbued with a special rapacious taste that I am praying mine develop in my coastal mater patch. Fennel bulb - crisp & refreshing like celery but with that bright but gentle licorice-like essence is a wonderful foil for robust tomatoes to accent their sugars. This pasta salad appeals to me because it seem lighter, hence more refreshing, than others loaded down with mayonnaise or store bought "Italian" bottled/prepared dressings. Perfect with a pile of chilled shrimp steamed in Old Bay just after being netted. Iced Tea with sprigs of mint or an ice-cold Rolling Rock ( 7 ounce bottles on ice - Pleeeze LOL!) & supper is on the table for deck dining at its best! Tip - Roast the tomatoes & fennel on separate sheets at the same time while the pasta is boiling to cut down on cooking times & limit heat in the kitchen. -- posted by Buster's friend

Minted Couscous Greek Salad

Mon, 18 May 2009 15:12:32 -0400

This refreshing salad is the perfect light supper or accompaniment to summer "catch of the day". Adapted this recipe received in email from gourmet-recipes-from-around-the world; thank you AJ! Note the vinaigrette recipe makes a cup but the salad recipe calls for only 3/4 cup. Bet this would make a rocking baste for grilled fish or shrimp! To serve, line a shallow serving bowl with romaine lettuce leaves. Spoon salad into bowl and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup scallions. Omit feta cheese & use vegetable broth for the vegans. Decent protein in this salad too. -- posted by Buster's friend

Singapore Cucumber Salad

Wed, 20 May 2009 15:00:19 -0400

A quick cool & refreshing use for the cucumbers coming out of the garden when gets hot. Just quarter & seed, then proceed with recipe if you don't have seedless cucumber or use 6 or 8 pickling cucumbers. Same with the peppers - use what you have - minis, cherries, any sweet pepper will work. Whatever you have, use it! Exotic but not too exotic - good foil for grilled fish or poultry, even BBQ'd pork. Found in The Seattle Times. Cook time is setting time. I plan to chill several hours before serving to wilt the cucumbers a little. -- posted by Buster's friend

Curried Egg Salad With Caramelized Onions

Wed, 27 May 2009 22:49:22 -0400

This dish was part of a menu that Monica Bhide had where she had eighteen guests, eight different diets,- and one cook to try and please them all. Monica's newest cookbook is Modern Spice: Inspired Indian Flavors for the Contemporary Kitchen (Simon & Schuster, 2009) ." I took it as a challenge! I like to throw dinner parties and I pride myself on creating memorable meals.I wrote cookbooks, damn it. So what if the Jack Spratt nursery rhyme was coming to life in my house.(Remember Jack Spratt could eat no fat, his wife could eat no lean.)" So it was with this fervor that she had a great party even though she swore that next time she was ordering pizza! AARP Magazine, May & June, 2009 edition. I tweaked it a bit, personal preference. -- posted by Manami

Fresh Corn Salad

Wed, 03 Jun 2009 00:40:27 -0400

Not new, just a solid version of one of the best tastes of summer. Chilled, served alongside BBQ, grilled meats, steamed crabs or shrimp - most excellent combinations. Make this when sweet corn is 12 ears for a buck & make a big batch - it keeps well & gets eaten up fast! This recipe is from The Wichita Eagle - those folks know what to do with sweet summer corn! -- posted by Buster's friend

No-Cook Sweet-Sour Lettuce Roll-Ups With Umami Dipping Sauce

Thu, 04 Jun 2009 10:12:05 -0400

Right out of The Seattle Times, East meets my summer garden - a perfect summer recipe for garden vegies & leftover grilled meats/tofu (I try to cook extra especially when using charcoal). The article notes this recipe halves & doubles well - making it very versatile. Need to give some time for the "pickles" to develop their flavor so read through first. Seems like a nice dish to put together before heading out for the beach or the bay & to come home to an easy finish & serve for al fresco dining. PS - I think I'll re-use the pickling mix for more than one batch of carrot/onion pickles - this sounds that good! -- posted by Buster's friend

Warm Lobster Salad With Arugula and Truffle Oil

I found this off of truffle-oil.com and am posting it here to save it. I haven't made it yet, so if someone has, please let me know how it is. One of these days I'll get around to buying some truffle oil and giving this a go. It sounds like it would be a very eye-appealing salad, too. The website offered the tips of using fresh herbs and not overcooking the lobster. I'm guessing on the yield and times, so please inform me of them when you make this. -- posted by Marla Jones

Fri, 12 Jun 2009 02:16:54 -0400

An exquisitely elegant summer salad from Chef Klaus Happel, Veranda Restaurant (Intercontinental Hotel) in New Orleans in honor of this weekend's French Market Creole Tomato Festival. Use the Creole's if you can get them but otherwise make use of the best freshest summer tomatoes you can get. My black tomatoes are doing so well I suspect they'll be used in this fantastic summer salad. Plan ahead (marinating time not in prep time) - make the salad & marinate the tomatoes all day while you are at the beach; come in & voila! Comes together in a snap. Best of summer eating! -- posted by Buster's friend

Panzanella With Herbs

Wed, 24 Jun 2009 10:25:20 -0400

Another wonderful meal that fits my poverty series - panzanella makes wonderful use of leftover bread that otherwise is at risk of going to waste. The herb & vegetable choice is flexible - use what your garden is providing or what ever is in that vegetable drawer. Ours will be making use of the basil that is starting to overwhelm the garden & the first Roma green beans off the 8 foot vines. The article did not mention but this salad does best if allowed to chill 20 minutes or so after pouring on dressing - but don't overmix some marinated & some chewy bread is best. -- posted by Buster's friend

Sweet Lemon-Jicama Slaw (Ww)

Sun, 19 Jul 2009 13:15:53 -0400

This crunchy, refreshing, citrusy slaw features jicama, a Mexican root vegetable with a texture similar to a water chestnut. I love using jicama in slaw and salad recipes -- it adds additional fiber to the mix, and it picks up whatever flavors you're using, whether sweet or spicy. You can find jicamas in your grocery produce section, with the other 'exotic' vegetables or go to a specialty Hispanic market. From "WW 5-Ingredient-15 Minute Recipes" and = 1 point. -- posted by FloridaNative

Wheat Berry Salad With Red Fruit

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

Gourmet Pearl Couscous Salad With Vegetables and Cashew Nuts and

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:06:48 -0500

Blu Gourmet Pearl Couscous (GI 52) now carries the GI Symbol. Unlike traditional couscous, pearl couscous which takes its name from its pearl-like shape and size is often described as a toasted pasta specialty. Like regular pasta, it is made from hard (durum) wheat and water. But instead of being dried, it is toasted in an open flame oven. It has a rich, nutty flavour and a chewy texture, with a smooth, almost buttery mouth feel. It makes a perfect side dish to meat, poultry, or fish instead of potatoes, rice, or traditional pastas or couscous. It cooks in around 10 minutes by the absorption method just like rice and you can also use it in a variety of dishes just like rice and other pastas. Product ambassador, chef Gabriel Gate, has developed a number of recipes using pearl couscous. Youll find it will serve around 10 people at a barbecue and is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Serves 6. -- posted by Kiwi Kathy

Cool Asparagus and Salmon Salad

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:08:01 -0500

As we go into summer in the Southern Hemisphere, with temperatures already in the 30 degrees Celsius some days, a cook's thoughts lightly turns to thoughts of salad, to paraphrase Keats or Shelley! I am extremely fond of cold-smoked salmon. We also love green asparagus. Put them together, add a few extra taste notes, and you have a nice salad. This can either be a starter or a light, non-fattening lunch with an icy glass of Sauvignon Blanc! (I used local salmon trout instead of our very expensive imported salmon). Exact quantities are not of great importance here. -- posted by Zurie

What a great dressing this one is. It's very thick and almost like a dip. To thin it down, I add a little bit of milk until I get it to the consistency I like. You can do the same thing and make it just the way you like it- thick or thin- you choose. -- posted by Realtor by day, Chef by night
