Sarasota's Fresh Crunchy Creamy Celery Salad

Sun, 10 Jan 2010 09:14:30 -0500

This is just a nice twist on a celery salad. I would love to say this is my recipe, but I can't. This is from a small Bed and Breakfast in North Carolina. 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. Enjoy it! -- posted by SarasotaCook

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

These are yummy healthy chicken fingers with a little crunch. Came out of a fitness magazine. Instead of layering on spinach leaves, I threw on top an Asian salad with some ginger honey dressing. I'll definitely make again. My only issue was with the coconut-cornflake-cashew mixture. I didn't have enough to coat all the chicken, so had to make more. But that was easy enough. -- posted by KT9791

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

Tangy Blueberry Vinaigrette

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 14:05:12 -0500

A different and colorful salad dressing, not too oil-heavy. And it's vegan! I can get sunflower oil cheaply from a Mexican grocer nearby but if you can't find it, canola oil or salad oil will work in a pinch. I prefer to use frozen blueberries because I think the consistency's better plus I don't have to sift through them for moldy/rotten berries (and cost and storage reasons) but I'm sure fresh blueberries would work great too. -- posted by the80srule

I was recently sold on quinoa and how awesome it is! Gluten free, an almost perfect protein, easy to prepare, the list goes on! This is a combination of two recipes, one of which I altered. The first is from this site, (#16399, Quinoa-Toasted). The second is from Allrecipes.com (Caron's Kickin' Quinoa Salad), to which I made some changes. We thought it tasted a bit like sushi and loved it! Feel free to add more heat, but this had enough for our family as we've got wee ones. A large portion of the cooking time is cooling time. -- posted by SandwichQueen
