Bollywood Potato Salad (Pink Potato Salad)

Mon, 08 Jun 2009 02:12:13 -0400

I made this potato salad just now and the hot-pink colour immediately reminded me of the neon brighness of Bollywood films. :-) Although I didn't put any curry powder into the dressing today, I will do so soon, as I love curried potato salads - and the Bollywood of the title would be slightly more justified. ;-) -- posted by evelyn/athens

Tiny green florets, crisp apples, crunchy shallots, candied nuts and slivered red onions are tossed in a barely sweet, creamy almond vinaigrette.

You can make the components ahead of time, but don't dress the salad until you are ready to serve it; preserving the various crunches. Adapted from 101 Cookbooks. -- posted by Sharon123

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

This refreshingly-light summer salad is my absolute favorite way to enjoy vine-ripened summer tomatoes.

The juicy tomatoes, sweet onions and rich-tasting Kalamatas are dressed simply with olive oil, red wine vinegar, fresh herbs, salt and pepper.

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

Honey-Roasted Pear Salad With Thyme and Verjus Dressing

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 13:33:56 -0400

An elegant and sophisticated salad that makes good use of verjus (verjuice) in the dressing. I use a local blue cheese, such as Roquefort in this salad; however, please do use a local blue cheese of your choice - any creamy or robust blue cheese will marry well with the pears and tart dressing. Verjuice, or verjus, is the juice of unripe grapes. This staple of French provincial cooking, a key ingredient in Dijon mustard, has the tartness of lemon juice and the acidity of vinegar, but the harshness of neither. Its delicate flavour is ideal for everything from stocks to sweet syrups - as long as you know what you're doing. Verjus was also a common ingredient used in English cooking throughout the Middle Ages. I try to make a batch of verjus every year with the green grapes from my non-dessert grape vine - as I love cooking with it. This recipe came from an old copy of Bon Appetit magazine from 2005. Prep time includes the time it takes the pears to cool. -- posted by French Tart

This one tastes great either way. Make it the day before you plan to use it if you can. That way the flavors will have time to blend. -- posted by Realtor by day, Chef by night

It's the vinaigrette that brings all the veggies together. You can use any veggies you happen to have on hand; I think it would be great with tomatoes and lightly cooked asparagus.

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

Sarasota's Roasted Tomato, Onion and Mushroom Salad

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 10:49:30 -0500

Crisp romaine topped with warm roasted vegetables makes this a wonderful salad. Most people are used to the "standard" salad with chilled vegetables and a dressing. This really just just gives a new taste to salads. A great twist on classic salad ingredients. And please feel free to add local fresh ingredients. Zuchinni, summer squash, asparagus, beans, or any local fresh ingredients of your choice. -- posted by SarasotaCook
