Alaine's Tangy Stove Top Sweet Potatoes

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 11:37:09 -0400

This is an entirely new take on sweet potatoes, and I know you'll enjoy it, I can't stop eating it! This recipe came to me by accident, I was looking for something new on the internet that I could make with sweet potatoes on the stove top but couldn't find anything. I threw together some ingredients I had on hand, and the result was great. Enjoy! -- posted by amb5842

Vegetable Relish/Ceviche

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 16:58:38 -0400

I wanted something that was cool, crunchy, tangy, spicy and a little sweet that would meet my diet requirements and was not your typical diet food. This is my version of a fresh veggie relish/salad that is great alone or when paired with seafood, beef, pork etc... Perfect in a warmed flour tortillas wrap with some shrimp, or a lettuce wrap with a bit of Avacado. It can be used with seafood, chicken, beef or pork as a relish. Or as I like it, alone for lunch. High fiber, low fat and awesome taste. I hope you enjoy it. XOXOXOXOXO Lynn -- posted by Hugsandkisses

Cheddar Dill and Veggie Pasta Salad

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 16:58:43 -0400

Great summer side salad. I use extra sharp cheddar, because in my world, the sharper the better. The recipe calls for fresh dill, which I never have on hand so I always use dry, probably about 1 teaspoon, to taste. I do not remember where I got this, oops, so if someone knows, please let me know so I can put it here! Time to chill not included in cooktime. -- posted by SarahBeth131

Polly's Broccoli-Cauliflower Salad

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 17:05:12 -0400

This is a family favorite that is served at all our family dinners by my grandma. She loves to cook and found it in an old church cookbook she got years ago. It makes a good side dish to any dinner and doesn't take long to make. Fast and easy, this one is a keeper. * For a more festive look you could use red onion and add cherry tomatoes in it as well. -- posted by i_luv_chocolate

Gomae - Japanese Style Spinach Salad

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 12:18:52 -0400

This is Chef floWers version of Spinach Gomae. It's a side dish I often ordered at my favourite Japanese restaurant (before it closed down.) I found a visual version on you tube and since I couldn't find a recipe on www.recipezaar.com I thought I would add it to Zaar's collection. We all love this salad and my daughter can eat the whole serving (if I let her). I often double the recipe, so she can have extra greens, well it worked for Popeye The Sailor Man.

Ocean Spray Fresh Cranberry Orange Relish

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 17:19:51 -0400

This is a very refreshing recipe I have used for years. It comes from the bag of Ocean Spray Cranberries bought in the grocery store. This time of year cranberries are plentiful where I live (in fact I have a huge bag 21 pounds in the refrigerator) so right now I try to give new recipes a try before the fresh ones have to go into the freezer. Give it a try it goes great with your Thanksgiving dinner. Enjoy! -- posted by Bonnie Young

Black Eyed Pea Balsamic Salad

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 10:05:22 -0500

I got this at a farmer's market in Texas. A chef from one of the local resturants was demonstrating how to use the veggies of the season. This is a hit on New Year's day, the legend being that you eat black eyed peas on New Years day to insure health, wealth and happiness. Not so sure about the wealth, but health an happiness are great. You can use either fresh or frozen peas, but not canned and can substitue finely diced ham for the bacon. Good eating. -- posted by liral

Quency's Pasta Salad

This recipe came from a girl I knew named Quency. She said it was a family recipe. I always make this for bbq's and pot lucks. It is a big hit! This makes a very large quantity of salad. I usually mix it up in a foil roasting pan so I don't have to worry about having a big enough bowl or remembering to bring my bowl home. -- posted by ~Sherry~

Sarasota's Simple Sides-Mushrooms, Fennel, Tomatoes & Onion

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:12:45 -0500

Now, we all know how to grill vegetables. This is my favorite marinade and I make this all the time with local market ingredients. And what is nice is you can use the outside grill, inside grill pan or even just the broiler. I serve this with steak, chicken, fish, or just about anything you can think of and sometimes just as a salad. It is super quick, easy, and absolutley delish. Fresh slices of tomatoes (yellow, purple, red and orange; fennel, onions and portabello mushrooms); a easy quick marinade and what a side dish. And think healthy. One of my girlfriends makes this all the time since I showed her; on baguettes, with pasta, over fish and just as a side. Serve these warm vegetables over a bed of bibb lettuce with some fresh grated peccerino romano for a quick healthy salad. -- posted by SarasotaCook

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

A great little recipe from my Publix Grocer's Product Department -- they have recipe cards there and I always grab the ones that sound good. This one did not disappoint. Even DD enjoyed this pasta salad. NOTES: I used Colby Jack cheese instead of the cheddar, and about 1/2 of the listed amount. I also cut the dressing by half, the original recipe calls for 1 cup. I used a mixture of Newman's Own Tuscan Italian and Olive Oil & Vinegar dressings. I'm sure some fresh chopped broccoli would be a nice addition too. -- posted by FloridaNative

Cranberry Orange Holiday Relish

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:11:17 -0500

There are many versions of this basic recipe. This little riff adds a little extra color and crunch to an already delightful side dish that is rich in both flavor and fiber. Add different fruits, and it becomes yet another kind of salad, beautiful in its ruby-redness, especially on a bed of greens. Note: the toasted pecans are nice added the day before serving, but as time goes on, they become less crunchy - but still add a great flavor. This relish can be held in the refrig for a week or so, and can be frozen as well. -- posted by MaryRich

Lobster, Shrimp Salad With Greens in Orange Cups

I call this my entertaining salad. It is just so pretty and always is a hit. Guests, family, dinner party, special night for you and your other half, or just a special one night salad. Now, I add lobster to mine, but with the combination of the shrimp and fruits, it really isn't too expensive. If you can't find fresh shrimp or lobster, frozen will work just fine. Just look for the frozen lobster tails when they put them on sale - One nice size tail is plenty for this recipe. It is just is a great presentation. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Its not Thanksgiving for me unless I have cranberry jello salad. This recipe comes from my mother's side of the family and has been a tradition at Souder Thanksgiving meals for as long as I have been alive. Super easy and delicious! Cooling and chilling take several hours, so prepare at least a day before you plan on serving. I always double the recipe; if you do this, split between at least two containers before chilling or it will take forever to set. (Its still good if it doesn't set!) -- posted by HoosierDaddy?

California Salad (Tomato, Cucumber and Onions)

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 14:38:12 -0500

Simple, refreshing and delicious! Juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumbers and crunchy onion combine with Miracle Whip to make an unbelievably delicious salad! You will be surprised and delighted...the juice from the tomatoes combines so well with the Miracle Whip, you'll never know that Miracle Whip is in it once the flavors have combined. You may be tempted to add something to it, it seems too simple to be good, but try it like this first, I guarantee you'll like it! I make it often for potlucks and BBQ's and people are always amazed at the simplicity of this recipe. Family legend is that relatives from California always made this salad and so it was dubbed 'California Salad'. Can easily be made low/non-fat, but I prefer the regular version. It is also great as a 'relish' on grilled meats, especially brats. This is also a very 'forgiving' recipe...I never measure anything, just throw it together. Just remember the veggie ratio is 1:1:1 and you'll do fine! **Unless you live in a warm climate and can grow or get locally grown tomatoes all year long, don't bother making this in the winter! Fresh, ripe juicy tomatoes are the key to making this salad** Easily doubled or tripled, but yield will vary depending on size of the vegetables. "Cooking time" is refrigerator time! -- posted by The Frugal Cheflady

Cauliflower, Broccoli, Olive Salad With a Parmesan Dressing

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 12:33:10 -0500

A nice salad for company or for any night of the week. Lightly blanched broccoli and cauliflower (still warm), tossed with olives, onions, a creamy Parmesan dressing and topped with crisp bacon. If you want, blanch the broccoli and cauliflower ahead of time and keep in a ziplock container or bag until you are ready to serve. If you want to serve it warm, just reheat in the microwave. I also do the bacon ahead and just keep in a small ziplock bag or container. This is a great salad that you can do ahead. Then just toss and serve. And any leftover dressing is great over vegetables, chicken or just as a standby salad dressing. -- posted by SarasotaCook

I have served it on a bed of greens and have added chopped grilled chicken on occasion. You can also add a can of quartered artichoke hearts and a jar of chopped roasted red bell peppers.

The Owner / Chef was nice enough to share her recipe with me, and had many other recipes that looked wonderful, but this is the only one I asked for. Unfortunately, the Bed and Breakfast is no longer there and the owner can't be contacted. She was a fantastic cook. The cherries with the combination of the pecans and the creamy dressing, just make it a perfect combination. I love to serve this with a honey roasted chicken, just something light and simple.

Mom's Tangy Bean Salad

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 13:02:14 -0500

Great for bringing to dinner parties with vegetarians! Can also be made with balsamic vinegar instead of red wine vinegar. Also, try subbing in cucumber (or just adding it). I use Unico bean medley, but any beans you like will work! -- posted by MissingWhiteWings

Spicy Coleslaw

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:04:22 -0500

I am a single woman living on my own. When I come home from work the last thing I want to do is slave over a hot stove or spend hours making dinner. I need quick and easy options. I try to utilize as many "convenience" items as I can in order to help spend less time in the kitchen and more time relaxing. I like to keep the condiments from takeout and fast food places if I think I can use them for something else. I like to experiement with recipes and make them simple. This has to be one of the easiest recipes I make. The only thing that might be a problem for some people who want to make it, is you need to be near a Chick-fil-a. I use their spicy dressing. I don't normally like typical coleslaw dressing, so this is my little spin on it. I also like to double and even triple the recipe up for family bbq's and potlucks at work. Feel free to add your own items that you like....diced red onion, julienned bell peppers, etc. That's what is so great about recipes, you can make them your own. Enjoy! -- posted by Chef #188403

This is a great potluck dish, or just one to make for you! If you follow my changes vs. the original recipe, each serving is 2 points. You may need to use a little less Stevia if yours is more concentrated. -- posted by MonsterMaha

Pear, Cranberry and Stilton Waldorf Salad

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:42:48 -0500

This is an adaptation of one of Emeril's Waldorf Salad recipes. The key to making it delicious is using very hearty, crunch lettuce. Softer lettuce turns to mush with the mayo dressing. You can sub any bleu cheese for the Stilton. It makes a great healthy lunch or a nice side to a beef or pork dish. -- posted by Pangaea
