Confetti Cole Slaw With Cilantro

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 01:51:58 -0400

This recipe is traditionally called "California Cole Slaw", but I made some changes by reworking the recipe. The pretty contrast of colors reminded me of confetti, hence the name. I found the original version "California Cole Slaw" recipe while going through my deceased mother-in-laws recipes. Thought I'd make a couple ingredient changes and wala. Here's the finished product. It is even kid friendly. Hope you enjoy it. -- posted by Chef Angie S.

Chopped Salad in Lettuce Cups

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 11:48:09 -0400

Now, I can make many different versions of salads to put into these lettuce cups. From ... Cobb, Mediterranean, chopped, traditional, lettuce tomato, onion ... or you can make a all vegetable salad, a Mexican black bean and corn salad, fruit salad, chicken, shrimp or crab salad. The method is the same. But I love serving these at dinner parties. My last one I served a version of a caesar salad and put them in lettuce cups and served at a dinner party. They were a big hit. So, my favorite is a simple chopped salad, I love the traditional version for this. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Broccoli & Mushroom Salad With Tangy Sweet Mustard Dressing

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 02:12:31 -0400

great for potlucks and holiday dinners. The dressing is tangy and sweet. For more tang, increase the vinegar and the dry mustard. For more sweet, increase the sugar. I mix the dressing and salad together right before it's served to keep the salad ingredients crisp. I've used the dressing on regular salads and even on potato salad. Enjoy! -- posted by sugarfreak

I L.O.V.E using Italian dressing, but the store bought kind can be a little salty. I found this on another website, and it is so good... you'll want to put it on everything. You can very the dry ingredients, I use whatever I think smells good and whatever I have. Instead of a fancy bottle, I use a left-over dressing bottle to store it... double the "mixing" recipe and it works fine. The dry should last you a long time. -- posted by MamaMount

El Torito Southwestern Caesar Salad

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 01:12:55 -0400

El Torito Restaurant's Caesar salad has been a popular favorite for decades; I obtained the recipe in 1994 when it was published in the Los Angeles Times and have made it many times since. The recipe contains some Mexican ingredients such as pepitas, which are roasted pumpkin seeds, avilable at Trader Joes, as well as at Mexican markets. The cotija cheese ia a Mexican grating cheese. If not available use any hard grating cheese such as Parmesan. -- posted by lynnski / LA

Creamy Cucumber Salad Dressing

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 15:37:20 -0400

Delicious dairy-free version of cucumber dressing. I liked to use 2 small cucumbers, rather than 1 large because of the seeds. IF using a large or non-organic cucumber, make sure there is no wax on the peel, and scrap some of the seeds out! For a thicker, creamier dressing add more cashews and less water; for a thinner, lighter dressing add more water and fewer nuts. -- posted by Kozmic Blues

Gold Salad Dressing

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 17:21:23 -0400

This is a great salad dressing that I found in a raw cookbook. It's a thin dressing, but I think thin dressings coat the salad better. I use a little more honey than it calls for (about an extra tablespoon or so). I use an electric juicer to squeeze the lemons, which makes the prep time very quick. This recipe makes 4 cups and will last over a week in the refrigerator.. -- posted by Chef Schellies

Outback's Copycat Caesar Salad Dressing

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:35:49 -0400

I don't know what Outback's tastes like but this is the best Caesar Dressing I've ever had. This is bursting with flavor! You can buy pasteurized pure egg substitute without additives. Serve on torn crisp romaine with chunks of tomato and croutons. The number of servings does not include having second helpings. I got the recipe on a copycat site but I don't remember which one. -- posted by always cookin'

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

Prosciutto/Chicken Breasts/Eggplant Panzanella/Raisinvinaigrette

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:11:42 -0400

"Chef Barbara Lynch's take on saltimbocca gets its richness from Taleggio* cheese, which is stuffed in the chicken breast. A slightly sweet bread salad is served with the chicken." Bon Appetit Magazine, September 2009 Edition. The real name of the dish is: Prosciutto-Wrapped Chicken Breasts with Eggplant Panzanella and Raisin-Pine Nut Vinaigrette - with "Taleggio cheese that is a semi-soft, washed-rind cheese from the Valtaleggio region in northern Italy, near Lombardy. It is characteristically aromatic yet mild in flavor and features tangy, meaty notes with a fruity finish. The texture of the cheese is moist-to-oozy with a very pleasant melt-in-your-mouth feel. The combination of the soft texture, pungent aroma, and buttery flavors has proven to be addictive especially when spread on fresh crusty bread! Taleggio pairs nicely with Italian Nebbiolo wines, as well as a wide range of reds & whites." Cooling times have not been included. -- posted by Manami

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 21:39:29 -0400

Great dressing - it makes me look forward to eating salad. This recipe makes a HUGE batch of dressing, but this is hands down the BEST Caesar dressing I've ever eaten. Thankfully Carnival kindly provided the recipe to me upon request. I will be breaking this down into smaller increments to make here at home. I have left measurements as I received them. You'll have to convert them from metric on your own. Or use the exact metric measurements for best results. NOTE: first ingredient should read "1 lb egg yolks" NOT "1 liter lb egg yolks". -- posted by T-Reed

Great to top a salad made with fresh baby greens, apples, candied toasted walnuts and a soft mild cheese.

Carole's Coleslaw

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 16:18:33 -0400

I wanted something a little different in the dressing so I improvised and we liked the results. I always use the packaged coleslaw mix because I am lazy! This calls for Miracle Whip, but mayonnaise can be used as well. I don't care for very creamy coleslaw so if you do just make a little more dressing. The time does not include the refrigeration time for the dressing. If you are counting points, as on WW, this is 3 points using light Miracle Whip and Splenda. -- posted by carole in orlando

This is great to serve anytime! Makes a great lunch and a fine dinner if you toss a little wine and a loaf of crusty bread in the deal! You can use whatever vinegar you like, and can add, after tasting, more. Nakano makes several seasoned vinegars that are scrumptious! Smoked paprika is one of the best seasonings I've ever used; you can't believe how fragrant it is nd the taste is amazing. However, having said that, it is very pricey. I cannot advise you excpept to tell you that without it, the recipe won't taste the same. -- posted by FLUFFSTER

This vinaigrette is very versatile, in that it can be used for dressing a salad, or to garnish mussels on the half shell as an hors d'oeuvre. So Delicious!! -- posted by Chef mariajane

Potato Salad Dressing

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:06:09 -0500

This is a very different dressing for potato salad that has been a favorite of my family for many years. I found it while reading a pamphlet about using sour cream. It can be easily doubled for a large salad but DO NOT double the salt. It is better if it sits for a day in the fridge but can be made the day it is to be served. -- posted by Chef #759331

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
