World's Best Tabbouli / Tabouli / Tabbouleh / Tabouleh Salad

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 11:18:19 -0400

This was one of the most popular dishes at Nancy Mehagian's vegetarian restaurant on the island of Ibiza and she shared it in her book "Sirens Feast: An Edible Odyssey". There are two secret (and essential) ingredients in this recipe - fine bulgur (which has the added benefit of cooking quickly) and tamari soy sauce. This really is the best tabbouleh you will ever make! Dish should be chilled before serving. -- posted by blucoat

Standard Croatian Mixed Salad

Sat, 04 Jul 2009 14:35:38 -0400

This is usual mixed summer salad you can get almost in every Croatian household or restaurant. The importance is in wine vinegar (not aceto balsamico), and it must be cooled. I do not know the reason, but vinegar does not make you thirsty during hot summer days, so it is very important ingredient. -- posted by nitko

Fried Chicken Liver, Bacon & Tomato With Ranch Dressing

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 11:08:06 -0400

Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo from Caramelized Productions Food & Wine Magazine, July 2009 publication. From: Best New Chefs and Their Easiest Recipes. Jon and Vinny soak the livers in buttermilk and coat them in flour, then repeat the process for extra-crispy results. "I'm into livers of all kind now", says Dotolo especially duck and lamb." I tried this with great trepadation and it was really very good, believe it or not! This is a staff favorite at F&W test kitchens and here as well! I just have never had livers as a salad before - so I just dug in and was wonderful! ;) Their wine suggestions:earthy chicken livers, smoky bacon and creamy ranch dressing make this one salad that can easily stand up to a red wine. Beaujolais, made from the Gamay grape, is light-bodied but full of flavor, and an ideal choice. Look for the lively 2007 Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais-Villages or the berry-rich 2006 Chateau de La Chaize. The have a show on the FoodNetwork which escapes me now. BTW - their web site is eatdrinkordie.com/jon_and_vinny -- posted by Manami

Easy Tomato, Red Onion, and Kalamata Olive Summer Salad

Sun, 26 Jul 2009 13:42:24 -0400

This refreshingly-light summer salad is my absolute favorite way to enjoy vine-ripened summer tomatoes. It's a quick and easy tummy-satisfying dish on a warm midday when the last thing I want to do is turn on the stove. The juicy tomatoes, sweet onions and rich-tasting Kalamatas are dressed simply with olive oil, red wine vinegar, fresh herbs, salt and pepper. If desired, add whatever other garden veggies you enjoy - our family loves cucumbers; or add a slice of feta and some sliced green peppers and you've got a Greek village salad! Don't forget the crusty Italian bread to mop up the tomato and vinaigrette juices. -- posted by Feast Your Eyes!

White Bean Bruschetta Salad

Sun, 02 Aug 2009 10:19:52 -0400

Trader Joe's was serving samples of this recipe. The bruschetta was ready-made and a traditional tomato/garlic combo. This could be served as a salad on lettuce leaves, but I think it's better served as a bruschetta on toasts. Servings is a guess. -- posted by duonyte

Traditional Caprese Salad

Mon, 03 Aug 2009 11:40:14 -0400

Caprese salad is a great main dish (lunch) or appetizer for a summer dinner. It goes best with a white wine, and is amazing when preceding a light pasta dish. When using as a main dish for lunch, double up the portions. This is a recipe that has been handed down through the generations in my family as long as anyone can remember. My grandmother (peacefully rest her soul) recalled learning this recipe from her grandmother. She also told stories of her grandmother recalling learning it from her grandmother. This is a truly old-world Italian version of this recipe. Many of the versions that people know have been Americanized or have been updated in some way. As best I can tell, this recipe is about as traditional as it gets. -- posted by Obsidian468

Chopped Salad by Marconi's in Baltimore

Mon, 03 Aug 2009 11:49:55 -0400

"Marconi's" restaurant opened it's doors in the early 1920's, and had been a staple on the Baltimore restaurant scene until it closed recently. This historic restaurant is truly where I obtained my love of lettuce salads when I was a youngster. I went with my mother and father, downtown (sometimes even during the week!) to enjoy the great American "classic dinner". I always felt like a grown-up ordering my own salad, which was made table side. I absolutely fell in love with the big old woodened, seasoned, salad bowls and large wooden forks to mix up the ingredients. I could eat anyone under the table eating one of these salads, and to this day, this salad is a favorite of mine. Just recently, this inspired "Marconi Chopped Salad" showed up in the "Baltimore Sun" paper by Brucie White who answered a request for this recipe. Although "Marconi's" never officially published this recipe, Mr. White has tried to put together the components that were so inspired for so long in memory of this great establishment. I have added my own twist by some additions, but I wish to credit Mr. White for his contribution. Go ahead, chop some salad, and remember when............. -- posted by Andi of Longmeadow Farm

Corn and Tomato Salad With Fried Okra Croutons

Sun, 09 Aug 2009 22:17:28 -0400

THIS IS SOOOO GOOD! Everyone who likes tomatoes, corn, or fried okra needs to try this. And especially if its in season! Food and Wine's BEST of the BEST From The Rustic Table by Constance Snow "Southerners are known for their ability to turn a blind eye to the unpleasantries of life, so if something seems to ugly and slimy to eat, we jsut ignore the baster aspects, cover it with cornmeal, and throw it into a sizzling iron skillet. Thus okra, on of nature's most imperfect foods, is transformed into ethereal little crisps that even a Yankee could love. Good old "fried okry" is great on its own (as a traditional side dish or offbeat cocktail snack), but it also adds an extra layer of texture and flavor to the simplest garden salads. Here fresh sweet corn and vine riepened tomatoes are essential, so save this one for a cool meal in midsummer when vegetables are at their best." You can also use pre-packaged okra as well. -- posted by College Girl

Tomato, Basil and Mozzarella Pasta Salad

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 02:54:37 -0400

A great pasta salad! It is kid friendly and a real crowd pleaser. This recipe is from the Washington Post. This salad employs one of the best combos in summer food: tomatoes, mozzarella and basil. Even better, it takes about 30 minutes to make, from start to finish. It's always good to use the freshest ingredients, but here it's essential. Fresh mozzarella can now be bought in almost every supermarket. And choose the ripest tomatoes you can find: plum tomatoes are easy to peel and seed, but you can use your favorites. -- posted by TaterBug! :)

I make this salad all the time for my kids, and my youngest (Morgan) absolutely loves it. If she eats nothing else on her plate, this salad is always gone. I usually use regular old vine tomatoes, but it's equally good with a pile of halved cherry or grape tomatoes. No matter how you make it, it's ridiculously easy and really yummy. -- posted by Seedbeads

Felfel B'tomatish - Algerian Pepper & Tomato Salad

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 02:44:27 -0400

This is a classic Algerian 'salad' dish. You can either grill the tomatoes & peppers over an open flame, deep fry them or roast them. My family loves this recipe & we always mop it up with fresh bread! You can also serve this as part of a mezze selection. The vinegar is of course optional but it acts as a flavour enhancer so I do recommend at least trying a little of the salad with a few drops of vinegar on! -- posted by Um Safia

Fresh Corn, Black Beans, and Tomato Salad

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 11:26:42 -0400

Another great tasting recipe from Cook's Illustrated: Fresh off the cob is perhaps the best way to eat summer corn, but corn tossed with beans and tomatoes is a close second. The sweetness of the beans and the acidity of the tomatoes bring out the flavor of the corn. We wanted to find the best way to combine and flavor this trio. Heres what we discovered: Boil the ears of corn until just tender, then cool them quickly under running water so that they dont overcook. Canned black beans taste fine, as long as you rinse and drain them thoroughly to remove any of the liquid in which they come packed. Choose sweet-tasting, firm-textured grape or cherry tomatoes. They release less watery juice into the salad than diced full-size tomatoes do. -- posted by Pi-E

Tuna-Tomato Salad

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 17:23:59 -0400

This was something I made up while living on a student budget in Paris, France. This is another example of how the greatest things that come out of the kitchen are not a result of planning. I just looked around at what I had in the cupboard, put them together and it worked! It is a great starter or side dish. One rule though...you MUST add the blue cheese! It is what brings everything together. I kind of think of this as the French version of a caprese salad. -- posted by dk683

Ripley Tomato Salad

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 17:28:33 -0400

From Folk's Folly Steakhouse in Memphis, TN. This will fill you up if you eat it by yourself. This plus one slice of french bread is a divine dinner! Ripley tomatoes are from Ripley, TN and I have no clue if you can get them outside of TN & MS. If you can't get one, just get the biggest firmest one you can find! Ripley tomatoes are so red they almost look fake when they are ripe. Use low fat cheese and dressing to save calories. I use fresh ground black pepper and fresh ground sea salt. I use a TON of basil b/c I LOVE it -- use it to taste. PS This is the ONLY way I eat tomatoes -- period. Cook time is assembly time and serving size depdends on if you serve it alone or as a side. -- posted by SarahBeth131

Yummy salad that's easy to do. I like to use a mix that has frisée and radicchio in it because the bitter pairs well with the sweetness from the walnuts. -- posted by Jencathen

Beautiful Tomato and Mint Salad

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 13:36:49 -0500

Good enough to serve on its own, with plenty of good bread and decent white wine. Perfection satisfaction and simplicity all rolled into one. You'll never want to use basil again! The only specification is that you use the best fresh tomatoes you can find, preferably on the vine and deep deep red in colour. I prefer to chill the tomatoes to make for easier slicing, then allow the finished dish to come to room temp. Thank you sophie grigson from whom I adapted this recipe. -- posted by robd16

Grilled California Avocado Salad

Mon, 07 Dec 2009 09:52:53 -0500

Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large Haas avocado averages about 8 oz (here in Miami - our avocados have a tendency to be a bit larger). Adjust the the quantity accordingly. This is easy, tastes great, & has that WOW factor! It is an elegant first course that combines with baby greens, a spicy salsa and a delicious herbed goat cheese. Provided by the California Commission with a couple of tweaks. -- posted by Manami

Chip's Salad

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 01:53:14 -0500

The inspiration of this salad is the house salad at Chipparelli's Restaurant in Little Italy, Baltimore, MD. This recipe is similar, but it's only my best guess (plus a little of my own tastes thrown in) I have put quantities for the oil & vinegar, but honestly I just pour it straight from the bottle... I just keep testing the salad until it tastes good! -- posted by Chef #1485932

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

Found this in Southern Living BBQ on Tour, April 2009 edition & tweaked it a bit! Use your favorite deli baked beans and coleslaw for a delicious easy meal that comes together in minutes. Serve with pickled okra, sliced jalapeños, caramelized onions, or freshly cracked pepper on top! Really delicious:) -- posted by Manami

Barbecue /Bbq Mushroom and Green Bean Salad

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 09:45:47 -0500

This salad serves 8 as a side dish & is delish! It tastes of earthy goodness. The photo you see is of half the recipe + extra spinach. I prepared the mushrooms in a frying pan for convenience' sake and served the salad with a baked potato. Next time, I think we'll add some garlic to the marinade. -- posted by Rhiannon&Matt.gauci

Pan Roasted Corn and Tomato Salad

Sun, 31 Jan 2010 02:05:22 -0500

Enough of the justification: this is just plain good. At the end, you've got meaty smokiness from bacon; that incredible sweetness of corn; the fruity acidity of tomato; the tender, smooth fattiness of avocado, and the sharpness of chili. It's a summer winner, one that you shouldn't even try after the first frost. -- posted by Ice Cool Kitty

Tomato and Fetta Salad

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 14:50:07 -0500

A Greek inspired salad of fresh tomato halves, fetta cheese, olive oil and herbs. Perfect side dish for a meal, or wrapped up in a piece of flat bread it makes a great sandwich. It is absolutely essential to have good quality tomatoes for this dish. Little mini roma tomatoes are ideal, or any vine-ripened or organic fruit. -- posted by becy
