Aloha Cole Slaw

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 01:41:13 -0400

Called Holly's Cole Slaw in Pingry Cooks and was submitted by Bunny Raabe. It sounds Hawaiian to me with raisins and pineapple. Prebagged shredded cole slaw helps cut down on prep time. I guessed can ounces since the recipe just said "a can" for the pineapple tidbits. -- posted by Oolala

Gorgonzola Dip

Fri, 25 Apr 2008 19:46:12 -0400

Smoked Tomato Salad

Wed, 28 May 2008 00:41:50 -0400

This is a nice twist on the regular Italian tomato salad with a parmesan vinaigrette salad dressing. This recipe calls for an outdoor barbecue grill. However, to make it indoors, prepare salad as directed except do not grill or peel tomatoes. For a smoky flavor, add 1 to 2 drops liquid smoke to the Parmesan vinaigrette. -- posted by Lainey6605

Baja-Spiced Chicken Salad With Chutney Dressing

Thu, 12 Jun 2008 03:04:49 -0400

This is a wonderful salad that has color, texture and loaded with taste. Although there seems to be lots of ingredients, part of it can be done in advance. Serve with some french bread, this salad is quite satisfying. I used DiB's Parmesan Peppercorn Ranch Dressing (18877) and Tisme's Mango Chutney (191312), but bottled dressing and Major's Mango Chutney would be a good substitute. -- posted by Abby Girl

Green Goddess-Chive Salad Dressing

Wed, 09 Jul 2008 20:09:27 -0400

I have tryed many Green Goddess dressings this one has become my favorite, I have listed low-fat mayo and sour cream of coarse you may go the full-fat route --- plan ahead the dressing needs to chill for at least 4 hours before using even better if left for 24 hours, cooking time is chilling time --- for a nice change try this in a pasta salad in place of just mayonnaise, do not thin with buttermilk if using for a pasta salad :) -- posted by KITTENCAL

Lentil and Feta Cheese Salad

Thu, 31 Jul 2008 03:37:40 -0400

Adapted from a recipe provided to The Spice House by Kathy Stant from Richmond. "The dressing can be made ahead and stored up to two weeks in the refrigerator. This dressing is also good on Greek Salad." This is a good thing because this recipe makes 3 batches of the dressing (which is mighty tasty). Use optional mint leaves, ripe olives and pepperoncini pepper to garnish. -- posted by Buster's friend

Classic English Salad Cream - Oil Free Salad Dressing

Sun, 08 Mar 2009 00:46:32 -0500

The salad cream that most of us in the UK know, love and use was invented by Heinz in 1914 and was very popular with working classes; a truly socialist salad dressing if you will. However, its popularity waned in the latter part of the century, with the arrival of the decadent mayonnaise, flaunting its Continental French and Spanish roots and pushing the humble salad cream to one side. However, like any good socialist, salad cream would not go away and still remains a firm favourite in the UK with people who have refused to climb that social ladder to mayonnaise!! My recipe for homemade salad cream comes from Mrs Beeton's cookbook originally, but I have made some modifications. Mrs Beeton uses quite a lot of vinegar in my humble opinion, but the recipe is flexible so add more if you wish. I prefer salad cream when I am trying to cut back on fat - plus I rather like it's tangy flavour, and it is truly wonderful when spooned over hard boiled eggs or fresh lettuce leaves. Or, try it in sandwiches and dips, for a lighter taste to mayonnaise. -- posted by French Tart

Chicken Salad in a Creamy Chive and Lovage Dressing

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 15:55:21 -0400

I love my lovage! Moreover, this is a delectable way to use up cold cooked chicken with this wonderful old-fashioned herb! This salad would be perfect for a light luncheon dish or an elegant dinner party starter. I have also made this to take on picnics with great success. Lovage is one of my favourite herbs and I have been growing it for the last 20 years in my herb garden. It is only now regaining its popularity - however, it was a much-used herb in medieval times, and later on, it was often used as a salt substitute. The leaves have a slightly salty, savoury celery-like flavour and are very pungent, so they mused be used carefully in cooking. Anything more than 2 tablespoons of chopped lovage in this dressing will totally overpower all the other flavours - I know this to my cost! An obscure little-known fact! Culinary celery salt and celery seeds are nearly always made with ground lovage seeds, as lovage seeds have a more distinct celery flavour than celery seeds! I am a mine of useful or useless information! -- posted by French Tart

Easy Potato Salad With Complete Instructions

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 03:48:22 -0400

A potato salad which is universally enjoyed and really easy to prepare. The dressing is heated prior to blending but it goes really fast and turns out perfect every time. This is a great "beginner's recipe" because I have listed detailed instructions on both how to cook the potatoes and how to boil the eggs to ensure a no-fail experience. I wanted to remark that this makes one of the best potato salads for cold potato salad midnight snack sandwiches. Of course, this is also the perfect covered dish. For lots of smiles, serve this with my Southern Fried Chicken, posted here on Recipezaar. Finally, if you must have sweet pickles in your potato salad, just add 1/2 cup of drained sweet relish at the blending stage. I did not include the 4-hour refrigeration period at the end in the cooking time. Enjoy! -- posted by Bone Man

Oregano Lamb Steaks With Lemon, Olive Oil and Feta Cheese Mash

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 11:49:02 -0400

Grilled lamb steaks served with a tangy lemon, feta cheese, and herby olive oil mash; this simple supper has bags of hearty, robust flavours, and is very easy to whip up. I always make extra feta, lemon and olive oil mash, so it can be used as a dip or a sandwich filling for another meal. Try to use fresh herbs wherever possible, they have a softer and more subtle flavour and truly make the lamb steaks sing! Serve this supper dish with jacket potatoes and a fresh mixed salad. The flavours in this recipe remind me of hot sunny days by the seaside here in South West France, the distant fragrance of herbs mingling with the salty air........free-range lamb would also be good - especially hill reared lamb that has a distinct herby flavour in the meat. I serve this in true French fashion with a glass of chilled Rosé wine. Bon appétit! (The inspiration for this dish came from Nigel Slater's wonderful grilled lamb with feta and lemon recipe..........I have altered it enough to call it mine though!) -- posted by French Tart

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

Made on the Today show and in the cookbook Today's Kitchen cookbook! I haven't made this yet, put here for safekeeping. Will make soon though, it looks so good! Cook time is about the time it takes to cook the potatoes. -- posted by Sharon123

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

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

Christmas Deli Salad With Pomegranate, Parma Ham and Gorgonzola

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 01:59:21 -0500

A fabulous wilted salad boasting the rich, festive colours of vibrant crimson reds and lush holly greens, as well as being full of flavour - this is simply a wonderful salad for the Christmas, New Year or Thanksgiving family table. Please do use any blue cheese or ham of your choice; Stilton or Roquefort would be lovely as well as Prosciutto or Bayonne ham.......and, if you are serving any vegetarians, just leave the ham out of the equation! The dressing can be made up a few hours or a day beforehand, just wilt the leaves and assemble the salad right before serving. Serve this salad with crusty rolls or some thinly sliced rye bread and a glass of chilled Rosé or Chardonnay. -- posted by French Tart

Bleu Cheese Dressing With Baby Dill

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 17:34:24 -0500

This is inspired by the house-salad bleu cheese dressing of an upscale restaurant I once worked. We actually served it quite simply, yet somehow it was elegant -- drizzled over a one-quarter wedge of iceberg lettuce... with a dash of freshly cracked pepper. A favorite recipe of mine, it's great on a Cobb salad or with buffalo wings. The snipped baby dill gives it a unique, fresh flavor not found in other recipes. -- posted by Bazaar®

Quick and Easy Garlic Aioli

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 16:53:45 -0500

I was taught to make this Aioli in Spanish cooking classes, it is basically a fast way to make an real (or almost real) Aioli without resorting to using pre made mayonnaise. It tastes great and takes under 5 minutes to prepare. You will need a thin tall measuring cup or jug and a hand held (vertical or stab) blender. If you don't like garlic, you can make without. You can add things like herbs (fresh or dried), black pepper, smoked paprika or other things you like. Experiment with the amount of oil and lemon juice. If you want it to be more rich add two eggs yokes instead of one whole egg. -- posted by Claytox

Picante Ranch Dressing

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 15:16:31 -0500

I tried to make a dressing similar to the one they give you with the taco salad at Qdobo. This came out different but still tasty. Yields a little over 2 cups. -- posted by the80srule
