New Year Sea Bass Salad

Sun, 16 Feb 2003 20:01:06 -0500

Don't misss out on this one! Being in a dilema one day with some sea bass that I needed to cook, but would not be eating the same day, I steamed it with some thyme, refrigerated it and then used it the next day in this recipe in place of the raw fish and just feel in love with the cold salad! In as much as we love sushi and sashimi, I will try it with the raw fish as well. I will also try it with cooked shrimp, scallops, lobster, etc. It has so many possibilites and is so low-cal, with an Oriental flair in the dressing. This recipe came from www.fishingworks.com. -- posted by Tweeky

Lamb and Melon Kabobs with Minted Honey Marinade

Thu, 15 May 2003 20:05:11 -0400

Select a cantaloupe that is not too ripe for this simple recipe. Serve with grilled mixed, vegetables; mixed greens salad; Greek salad; Endive salad; etc. Outdoor cookout favourite. Preparation time includes 2 hrs. time for marinating in refrigerator and 30 minutes to bring kabobs to room temperature. Great recipe to prepare and take-along to a picnic and cook on your portable grill, or grills provided at picnic sites. (If you use grill at picnic site, cover the grate with foil, pierce the foil to allow juices to flow through.) A recipe from meat counter, supermarket handout. -- posted by TOOLBELT DIVA

Raspberry Tarragon Summer Salad

Jicama-Melon Salad With Pomegranate Dressing

Thu, 22 Mar 2007 20:47:42 -0400

This is referred to as "pico de Gallo" in Jalisco, Mexico. Depending on the availability of the cantaloupes, this is equally good with other fresh fruits such as pink grapefruit, pineapple, blood oranges, watermelon and honeydew melon. Feel free to interchange or mix the different fresh fruits. It makes a delightful palate cleaner. It is delicious served alone, or tossed with an elegant pomegranate dressing, which follows. Recipe from Chef to Chef. -- posted by FLUFFSTER

Cantaloupe Liquado

Sat, 31 Mar 2007 15:32:07 -0400

Cantaloupe-Lime-Granita

Mon, 16 Jul 2007 22:59:54 -0400

Not overly sweet and lime, mint and white wine (Pino Grigio or a very dry and fruity white wine) give this Granita a summerly freshness. The sweetness of a ripe cantaloupe melon is often enough, so that you don't need to add more sugar. I like the cantaloupe not too ripe with a still lightly green colored flesh. In this stage the cantaloupe has some pear flavors and a sweetness of honey. This goes well together with lime and a dry white wine. The mint or peppermint add just a hint here. I prepare a Granita often one day in advance and mix it with a fork from time to time. Served in chilled glasses or a freezed half melon it is a wonderful dessert on a hot summer day. -- posted by Thorsten

Cardamom-Flavored Fruit Salad (Salatat Al-Fawaakih)

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 03:44:54 -0400

From: "Classic Vegetarian Cooking from the Middle East & North Africa"-Arabian Gulf. This is the BEST fruit salad my husband or I have ever tried! It's easy, healthy, refreshing and WONDERFUL. You have to like cardamom to really appreciate it though. You may find yourself doubling the sauce in the future because you want to drink it up. I don't repeat very many recipes because there are too many new ones to try but this one is repeated over and over during cantaloupe season. I'm sure it would work with other fruits as well but I like this combo so much I haven't experimented. -- posted by Engrossed
