Fresh Figs With Stilton and Walnuts in a Honey Drizzle Dressing

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 10:59:58 -0400

A new fig recipe for this year! Similar to my Recipe #250866 but with blue cheese and a honey drizzle dressing. I like to tuck a few fig leaves amongst the salad for colour........but please do wipe them first! Serve these figs with crusty bread, some mixed herb and salad leaves.......and a glass of chilled wine. Quantities for figs depend on the size; allow one or two large figs per person or, between three and six for medium to small figs.This makes a fabulous dinner party starter, or a light salad for lunch..........I sometimes serve this for the cheese course too, for something a little different. -- posted by French Tart

Moroccan Squash Salad

'Tis the Season...lots of squash around. I picked up this recipe from the produce section and made it for a party.

Enjoy! -- posted by magpie diner

This cabbage salad is very flexible, and very tasty! It's one of those salads where you can't stay out of it! You can add just about any vegetable you'd like. There are many variations of this recipe. I got this version from a coworker. This recipe is vegetarian, but be sure you read the ingredients on your Ramen Noodles. Not all oriental-flavored noodles are vegetarian. For non-vegetarians, I've heard of adding chicken instead of the tofu. Enjoy! -- posted by Chef #585105

Israeli Couscous, Tomato and Mozzarella Salad

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 11:49:40 -0400

My modifications to #116054. The Israeli couscous really makes this a wonderful salad. A small round pasta such as Pearl Pasta can also be substituted. Can be served right away, but best if refrigerated for a few hours. Great for using up tomatoes and basil from the garden. If using larger tomatoes, dice and drain prior to mixing. -- posted by Chef #609434

Creamy Tahini Sauce/Salad Dressing

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 14:19:55 -0400

This is a nice and rich tahini-based salad dressing that goes great with romaine and butter lettuces, and also makes a nice garnish for falafels, veggie burgers, chickpea salads, and tons of other great vegetarian and/or Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes. Serve with pita breads as a snack or appetizer. I used packaged tahini paste that I bought from a gourmet foods store that happened to be really good, but you can probably make your own too. NOTE: the lemon juice amounts shown are correct! It is 1/4 liquid cup plus an extra tablespoon. Also, you can add 1/4 tsp sugar if you find it too rough. -- posted by the80srule

Sesame-Soy Dressing for One

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 18:11:38 -0400

I had some soy ginger dressing but I had forgotten that I'd used it up and my chicken garden salad really cried out for it. I whipped this up and really like it. No ginger though. Note: I made this low calorie but one may find this dressing does not stick to the salad well. If calories aren't a problem for you, replace the water with a mild oil such as canola and add water if needed after tasting. -- posted by Chef Tweaker

Easy Italian Dressing

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

Tangy, Zesty Oil and Vinegar Potato Salad

The best potato salad you've never had. For when your craving that certain ZING from vinegar...I don't like regular potato salad. I don't like sweet relish, eggs, or miracle whip in my potato salad. The sharp onion with the vinegar balances the soft potato texture. Inexpensive and college budget approved. For more of a bite, add two to three teaspoons of whole grain mustard along with the olive oil. Try this!! Yumm....From Bon Appetit, 2009. **Note: To use smaller potatoes, cook time is about 5 minutes less. -- posted by College Girl

This keeps well in the refrigerator, but you can eat it right away too. The feta cheese adds a nice punch, but the mozzarella makes for a more comfort-food feel; try both if you'd like! This is great as a meal in itself or as a side dish. -- posted by Donut's Mom

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

Gourmet Pearl Couscous Salad With Vegetables and Cashew Nuts and

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 12:06:48 -0500

Blu Gourmet Pearl Couscous (GI 52) now carries the GI Symbol. Unlike traditional couscous, pearl couscous which takes its name from its pearl-like shape and size is often described as a toasted pasta specialty. Like regular pasta, it is made from hard (durum) wheat and water. But instead of being dried, it is toasted in an open flame oven. It has a rich, nutty flavour and a chewy texture, with a smooth, almost buttery mouth feel. It makes a perfect side dish to meat, poultry, or fish instead of potatoes, rice, or traditional pastas or couscous. It cooks in around 10 minutes by the absorption method just like rice and you can also use it in a variety of dishes just like rice and other pastas. Product ambassador, chef Gabriel Gate, has developed a number of recipes using pearl couscous. Youll find it will serve around 10 people at a barbecue and is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Serves 6. -- posted by Kiwi Kathy

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 10:53:41 -0500

Another delicious Anna Thomas recipe. It's strongly recommended to use Lacinto kale (also known as dinosaur, black or Tuscan) in this recipe and not standard kale. Also, I tried myzithra cheese in the salad and used very little sea salt. -- posted by Cookgirl

Brown Rice Tangi Salad

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:36:11 -0500

This is an easy to make family favourite given to me by my mother years ago. A delicious, high fibre way to include more brown rice in your diet. It improves on standing so if I'm wanting to take it to a BBQ or pot luck dinner, I'll make it the day before then chill it over night. The brown rice gives it a lovely nutty, chewy texture in a sweet sour dressing. Everyone will be coming back for more and want the recipe. Enjoy! -- posted by jodz

Sweet Savory and Spicy Potato Salad

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 13:17:07 -0500

My friend Tricia made this for a cookout and I fell in love! It is the only potato salad I will make from now on. My husband never eats potato sald. He says "If there is meat around, why waste the time on side dishes?" He ate two HUGE servings of this......it is THAT good! If you cannot find candied jalapenos, just use one small fresh jalapeno (seeded and minced) and a tablespoon of sugar....it is just as good. We love curry, so we add more curry powder. Taste it and customize it to your taste! The long prep time is the passive time needed to chill the potatoes. -- posted by LizP

The Easiest Ever Carrot-Sesame Salad

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:22:13 -0500

True to its name this is a very easy carrot salad flavored with sesame oil. I found the recipe at justbento.com The salad stays fresh and crunchy even to the next day after making. In fact, the flavor mellows if you let it rest awhile. -- posted by Lorraine of AZ

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

Chocolate Crunch Salad

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:04:08 -0500

A wonderful recipe that combines a rich, tropical essence with a natural crunch. This simple and easy recipe will have you licking your plate! It's natural, raw, and combines sweet with bitter in a way that shouldn't be possible. However not only is this possible, it's delicious. This is adapted from Freedom's Raw Recipes (http://bit.ly/1IeyHo) and modified so that it requires no special equipment. All you will need to make this recipe is a knife and a blender. -- posted by Winkyboy

I don't remember where I got this recipe, but the dressing is sooooo good!!! The measurements make A LOT....it is what I used when making it for parties, so if you need only a small amount, please cut it down. -- posted by Brisket in Roses

This is another refreshing lunch salad my sis and me came up with for taking to school with us. It features millet, beans and cucumber thus being very healthy and giving you lots of power. The feta makes a nice salty addition without adding too many calories. -- posted by Lalaloula

Broad Bean, Freekeh and Mint Salad

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:33:23 -0500

I saw this on Good Chef Bad Chef recently. I haven't made it, but love grains and middle eastern style salads, so I'm guessing I'll like this. I'm saving it here until I hunt down the freekeh to make it with. Freekeh is whole wheat harvested green. -- posted by JustJanS

Soba Noodle Salad With Peanut Sauce

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:48:34 -0500

From Betty Crocker; the preparation time includes two hours post-cooking refrigeration. I'm posting the recipe as listed, but I made some changes: I used French-style frozen green beans, lite soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and sugar-free syrup in place of the honey. I didn't have chili paste, so I used extra-hot salsa instead. -- posted by brokenburner

Cranberry Walnut Feta Cheese Salad

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:45:33 -0500

This salad is good on it's own or with a balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Toasting the walnuts adds some extra flavor and crunchy texture. -- posted by Chef #1156809
