Cranberry Walnut Feta Cheese Salad

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:45:33 -0500

Cranberry Orange Holiday Relish

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:11:17 -0500

There are many versions of this basic recipe. This little riff adds a little extra color and crunch to an already delightful side dish that is rich in both flavor and fiber. Add different fruits, and it becomes yet another kind of salad, beautiful in its ruby-redness, especially on a bed of greens. Note: the toasted pecans are nice added the day before serving, but as time goes on, they become less crunchy - but still add a great flavor. This relish can be held in the refrig for a week or so, and can be frozen as well. -- posted by MaryRich

Cranberry Ranch Dressing

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 22:53:16 -0500

Last year my friend discovered a dressing by this name at our local discount store. I missed out on getting some. This recipe is my attempt to recreate this dressing. This dressing is lovely with cauliflowerets. The color really shows up and the taste is complimentary. It would also be a Christmasy contrast with broccoli florets. -- posted by Lorraine of AZ

Sarasota's Creamy Maple Brandy Salad Dressing

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 10:45:06 -0500

This is a wonderful easy dressing. Serve over some greens (romaine, spinach or arugula) with fall fruits, apples, pears, cranberries, nuts, caramelized onions, even blackberries or raspberries are great with this and crumble some blue cheese, gorgorzola, goat cheese, grated fontina or swiss - the combinations are endless. It is just a great dressing. My favorite salad happens to be; candied walnuts, romaine, blackberries, roasted pears, and caramelized onions. It doesn't get much better. You could add some grilled pork or grilled chicken and make a very hearty salad for dinner. -- posted by SarasotaCook

This comes from an old Saint Rocco church cook book. I am posting this as written, but adjustments in can sizes will have to be made because they just don't make the same size cans anymore. The ingredients may sound strange, but it really does taste good. It would really make a nice lite lunch. -- posted by Naturelover

Asparagus, Beans & Arugula Salad With Mustard Vinaigrette

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 13:16:41 -0500

Light and healthy. This can be a great starter, nice side salad, toss on some chicken or grilled salmon or scallops and make this a main dish. This is excellent by the way with grilled or baked salmon. This is great for a Holiday meal and is so easy. Store bought bagged greens, a can of cannelloni beans, a simple vinaigrette which is made ahead and uses fresh lightly blanched asparagus. Easy and quick and so healthy. You will spend a little extra for the micro greens, but it is well worth it. I took this on a big platter for a pot luck and topped it with my smoked salmon and the dressing. It was gone in 10 minutes. It really is a nice salad. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Grilled California Avocado Salad

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 09:52:53 -0500

Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large Haas avocado averages about 8 oz (here in Miami - our avocados have a tendency to be a bit larger). Adjust the the quantity accordingly. This is easy, tastes great, & has that WOW factor! It is an elegant first course that combines with baby greens, a spicy salsa and a delicious herbed goat cheese. Provided by the California Commission with a couple of tweaks. -- posted by Manami

Low Fat Spinach Dip Potato Salad

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 11:02:34 -0500

I came up with this recipe when I was asked to review a brand of Greek yogurt for my Weekend Carnivore (http://weekendcarnivore.com) cooking blog.

As a child, I remember my grandmother making this salad for me. I do not 100% know the whole recipe but this is all I could remember. I love this salad because i never liked eating fruits when I was little. This is a salad that even a fruit hater like me would learn to love fruits. ENJOY! (: [ BASICALLY... This recipe you could use any fruits but the ingredients I put down is what i usually put in my salad. Sometimes my grandmother would put some cooked shrimp inside and it turns out amazing! ] -- posted by BOOMBAMBONBON!

The Realtor's Parmesan Salad Dressing

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 10:23:33 -0500

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

Lobster, Shrimp Salad With Greens in Orange Cups

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 14:22:28 -0500

I call this my entertaining salad. It is just so pretty and always is a hit. Guests, family, dinner party, special night for you and your other half, or just a special one night salad. Now, I add lobster to mine, but with the combination of the shrimp and fruits, it really isn't too expensive. If you can't find fresh shrimp or lobster, frozen will work just fine. Just look for the frozen lobster tails when they put them on sale - One nice size tail is plenty for this recipe. It is just is a great presentation. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 15:25:16 -0500

This is a real quick and easy recipe. I got it from my Mother and I've been making it for over 40 years. It uses simple ingrediants you probably have in your pantry. You can adjust the amount of onions to your personal taste. I like it with a lot of Vidalia onions and lots of fresh ground pepper. It taste better if you prepare it an hour or two ahead of time. Can be served at room temperture or cold. -- posted by Naturelover

My husband and I had been eating nothing but baked and mashed potatoes (we live in Idaho), so I decided to try potatoes a different way.

California Salad (Tomato, Cucumber and Onions)

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

Seven Layer Macaroni Salad

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 01:33:44 -0500

This recipe comes from The Boston Globe Cookbook (1981). This one can be made the day before. Great for pot lucks, picnics (keep cold for as long as possible to prevent spoilage), etc. I also added 3 slices bacon, cooked and cut into bite size pieces and 2 boiled eggs, sliced, and I sprinkled paprika on the final presentation. When I boiled the macaroni I also added 1 lid full of olive oil. I always forget to time how long it takes to put it together, but I'm guessing 30 minutes. -- posted by Toni in Colorado

Warm Chicken and Barley Salad

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 10:43:24 -0500

A very simple easy salad, healthy start to the New Year. A light simple dressing with fresh ricotta salata cheese and served on it's own or serve over a bed of fresh baby greens - I happen to like watercress for this. A rich hearty oat bread on the side. You can use leftover chicken, or cook a couple of chicken breasts up, or better yet, finish off that turkey in your freezer. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Cauliflower, Broccoli, Olive Salad With a Parmesan Dressing

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 12:33:10 -0500

A nice salad for company or for any night of the week. Lightly blanched broccoli and cauliflower (still warm), tossed with olives, onions, a creamy Parmesan dressing and topped with crisp bacon. If you want, blanch the broccoli and cauliflower ahead of time and keep in a ziplock container or bag until you are ready to serve. If you want to serve it warm, just reheat in the microwave. I also do the bacon ahead and just keep in a small ziplock bag or container. This is a great salad that you can do ahead. Then just toss and serve. And any leftover dressing is great over vegetables, chicken or just as a standby salad dressing. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Sarasota's Lemon Pepper Vinaigrette

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 08:32:53 -0500

A great light peppery dressing. The key is good peppercorns for this. You can use a blend which I like or just black peppercorns, but a blend really enhances the flavor. Mix up the whole batch and will easily stay in the fridge for 3-4 weeks. My favorite is to serve this over Arugula with shaved onions and olives. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Sat, 09 Jan 2010 09:02:35 -0500

This is a delicious recipe from Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook. The crunchy tortilla cups soak up the yummy dressing and become a treat on their own. To make the tortilla cups use my Recipe #381215 The Weight Watchers cookbook calculates the calories to be 307. Zaars calculation is lower which would make the points value lower as well.

Sarasota's Fresh Crunchy Creamy Celery Salad

Sun, 10 Jan 2010 09:14:30 -0500

This is just a nice twist on a celery salad. I would love to say this is my recipe, but I can't. This is from a small Bed and Breakfast in North Carolina. The Owner / Chef was nice enough to share her recipe with me, and had many other recipes that looked wonderful, but this is the only one I asked for. Unfortunately, the Bed and Breakfast is no longer there and the owner can't be contacted. She was a fantastic cook. The cherries with the combination of the pecans and the creamy dressing, just make it a perfect combination. I love to serve this with a honey roasted chicken, just something light and simple.

Spicy Coleslaw

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:04:22 -0500

I am a single woman living on my own. When I come home from work the last thing I want to do is slave over a hot stove or spend hours making dinner. I need quick and easy options. I try to utilize as many "convenience" items as I can in order to help spend less time in the kitchen and more time relaxing. I like to keep the condiments from takeout and fast food places if I think I can use them for something else. I like to experiement with recipes and make them simple. This has to be one of the easiest recipes I make. The only thing that might be a problem for some people who want to make it, is you need to be near a Chick-fil-a. I use their spicy dressing. I don't normally like typical coleslaw dressing, so this is my little spin on it. I also like to double and even triple the recipe up for family bbq's and potlucks at work. Feel free to add your own items that you like....diced red onion, julienned bell peppers, etc. That's what is so great about recipes, you can make them your own. Enjoy! -- posted by Chef #188403

Meyer Lemon Dressing

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:38:52 -0500

Kristen's Kickin' Quinoa Salad

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 16:02:29 -0500

I was recently sold on quinoa and how awesome it is! Gluten free, an almost perfect protein, easy to prepare, the list goes on! This is a combination of two recipes, one of which I altered. The first is from this site, (#16399, Quinoa-Toasted). The second is from Allrecipes.com (Caron's Kickin' Quinoa Salad), to which I made some changes. We thought it tasted a bit like sushi and loved it! Feel free to add more heat, but this had enough for our family as we've got wee ones. A large portion of the cooking time is cooling time. -- posted by SandwichQueen
