Holiday Salad

Thu, 23 Nov 2006 20:04:59 -0500

With a number of diabetics in my husband's family I started serving a green salad at holiday meals to feed the low-carbers. It turned out that everyone enjoys this combination of harvest flavors as a complement to the heavy, starchy traditional Thanksgiving and Christmas sides. It serves a crowd but the quantities are easily adjusted. -- posted by 3KillerBs

I spent last summer with a family in Madrid and every night without fail, we had this salad.

Summer Pappardelle With Tomatoes, Arugula, and Parmesan

Thu, 25 Jan 2007 16:39:17 -0500

This light recipe comes from Cooking Light. Be sure to save some of your water when you drain the pasta to use if your cooling pasta clumps together. I would imagine you could use regular cherry tomatoes if you can't find the yellow tear-drops but the different colors would be very pretty. Cooking time does not include time to cook pasta. -- posted by TXOLDHAM

Italian Caesar Salad With Polenta Croutons

Sat, 03 Feb 2007 21:52:34 -0500

Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentis from Everyday Italian Show and the Episode: Italian Salads. We used this recipe for a Dr's meeting here and it was liked by all! I had printed copies of the recipe ready for those who wanted them. We used walnuts instead of the pignoli's (personal preference). There is a 2 hour cooling time or if wanted you can prepare the croutons and salad dressing the day before. Then it assembles easily and quickly! We used the polenta croutons in a salad of mixed greens and they were awesome! The Cubans make their polenta or harina de maiz with garlic and the chef snuck some in when preparing the croutons, turned out great! -- posted by Manami

Here is a soup that is elegant, easy to make and tastes terrific. However, do not cook it longer than 3 minutes as the ingredients do not require longer cooking and it will lose color and flavor.

Sam's Caesar Salad

Sat, 12 Jan 2008 02:32:46 -0500

I found this on the net, and it is so very delicious! The romaine is very crisp and cold; The dressing is out of this world. One thing about Ceasar dressing, if you make more than you will need for a single setting, take it out of the fridge for a few minutes, as olive oil solidifies in the cold. Another thing, please don't use the parmesan in the green can, buy a piece at your local market for this, and grate it yourself. It will be so worth it. About the croutons, it may sound funny, but it does make a big difference. -- posted by FLUFFSTER

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 01:37:37 -0400

Green goddess dressing was invented in the 1920's at San Francisco's Palace Hotel as a tribute to William Archer's hit play, The Green Goddess. It gets it's bright green color from lots of fresh green herbs. This dressing was originally made with tarragon, but has been updated with basil, which actually has more flavor! Delicious on green salad, but also great served with vegetables like asparagus and broccoli. Adapted from the Barefoot Contessa at Home cookbook. -- posted by Sharon123

Veggie Sandwiches A.k.a. Veggimiches

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 01:43:31 -0400

I used to make these all the time in southern Cali for my BF. Now that I've relocated to the far North, certain fresh ingredients are harder to come by, so I haven't been able to make this sandwich in ages. I'm not sure where the "m" stems from in "veggiemich," that's just what we ended up calling it. :) The reason for mixing the mustard and dressing prior to spreading on the bread is to avoid uneven spreading while keeping the calorie count down. Everything can of course be omitted or replaced to your taste; you can even make it Atkins-friendly by making a lettuce pocket and omitting the bread, hehe! We loved using a lot of pepper for a nice kick. You can make it a more filling meal with other additions, too! ^_^ -- posted by FuzzyKiwi

Mixed Herb Salad With Borage : La Salade De Plusieurs Herbes

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 10:58:51 -0400

A delightful old French salad recipe, which uses fresh aromatic herbs with fresh lettuce leaves and a simple dressing. Serve this with poached salmon or cold chicken for an elegant dinner party dish. Adapted from a 16th century French translation of a book originally written in Latin in 1474. NB: Borage is an excellent culinary herb and can be used in a variety of ways. Borage is far better used fresh, as the flavour and colour deteriorate when dried and some essential oils lost. Traditional recipes recommend borage leaves and seeds, together with fennel in salads for increasing the milk supply in nursing mothers. The leaves and flowers are still added for flavour and garnish to wine cups, Pimms and gin-based summer cocktails and the flowers are still candied for confectionary as cake and ice cream decorations. -- posted by French Tart
