Mayo

Best Thai Salad dressing





3 -4 tbsp Lime Juice


3 -4 tbsp Lemon Juice


1 Tbsp Fish Sauce


1 Tsp soy sauce





mix together (should smell like flat coca cola when mixed, but doesn't taste that way in case you were wondering. If it doesn't smell like Coke add a bit more fish sauce.) Note that when i try this in the USA and Canada (Rather that Oz) the lemon sometimes comes across a bit strong and the coca cola smell is harder to establish.[particularly when you use lemon in the lemon shaped containers...its a bit harsh, you may need to use fresh lemons and limes to achieve the right blend. In OZ use ';Berri'; products to achieve the right result.





Enjoy





Serve on a bed of lettuce with corriander(cilantro), red onion, tomatoes, green onions, lemongrass, cucumber (lebanese/baby), and hot, freshly sliced medium to well done steak.Top with salad dressing!!! YUMMMMMMMM





I salivate thinking of it!!!
For a basic green salad (lettuce, tomato, cucumber etc.) I use the following dressings:





1: Balsamic Vinegar


Olive oil


Garlic





2. Red Wine Vinegar


Olive Oil


Garlic





3. White vinegar


Honey


Lemon juice


Olive oil





Pretty much just mix the ingredients to taste - vinegar/olive oil combinations are the easiest to make and you can do it the same time you make the salad.
Poppy Seed Dressing


1ts honey


1/2 ts dry mustard


1/4-1/2 ts paprika


1/4 ts garlic powder


1/2 ts poppy seeds


dash ground ginger


1/4 C orange or lemon juice


1/4 C mayo





Combine all in a jar (with a lid) and shake.





This is delicious over a salad, or used in a recipe or over non citrus fruits.
olive oil


balsamic vinegar


garlic


salt


pepper





Good with green lettuce tomatoes onion cucumber
Well it depends on the salad, right?

This is going to sound too simple, but my potato salad gets rave reviews every time I make it or take it to a party....


The following will serve 15-20 people easily. So if you don't need that much, you'd have to figure different amounts of the ingredients. It is best to prepare it the night before.





Boil 5 pounds of potatoes until cooked. set aside





Boil 10 eggs(you only need 8 for the salad but you'll want to eat some)





1 Package of celery hearts





2 medium size white onions





1 bunch of radishes for color





Chop all of the above in thin pieces and mix together in a large bowl..Add salt/pepper to taste. Mix in Kraft Miracle Whip (regular not light). Mix in enough Miracle Whip so the salad is not dry. Let it sit overnight in the frig. The next day you will want to add some more Miracle Whip and mix it in to be sure the salad is moist. When finished place it in a serving bowl and sprinkle paprika on top.





There is nothing to it,like I said, but people love it. Do not change the Miracle Whip or add anything to it. I need to know if you used it and what the reaction was......Recipes for a best potato salad?

Hi Cassie,





There are so many good ones out there! For a good 'dinner salad' (a little more filling...) Try:





blanched green beans,


halved cherry tomatoes,


boiled chat potatoes (cooked with skin on then quartered)


kalamata olives,


soft boiled egg (peel and cut in half)


finely sliced spanish onion


and baby spinach leaves.





just toss everything together and top with the egg.





dress with a dressing of one tablespoon lemon juice, two tablespoons olive oil, one teaspoon of dijon mustard and a teaspoon of honey. Mix and drizzle over the top.. This salad is also great with grilled salmon, tinned tuna or shredded barbecued chicken.

    Add the olive oil and the slightly crushed peeled garlic clove. Whisk together well, then shake well before using if making in a wide jar.





    Add the cucumber and torn basil to the salad along with sufficient dressing to moisten all ingredients, toss lightly, then sprinkle the olives on top.





    If you do not use all of the dressing then remove the garlic clove otherwise it will discolour after a few hours. This dressing will keep for a few days.Healthy but flavorful Greek/Mediterranean salad recipe?

    1 cup chopped cucumbers


    1 tomato, coarsely chopped


    1/4 cup coarsely chopped green peppers


    1/4 cup thinly sliced red onions


    1/4 cup ATHENOS Traditional Crumbled Feta Cheese


    2 Tbsp. KRAFT Greek Vinaigrette Dressing


    1/2 tsp. grated lemon peel











    COMBINE all ingredients.
    Top chopped romaine (or whatever lettuce, heck, skip the lettuce if you want) with tomato wedges, cucmber chunks, chick peas, sliced red onion, and artichoke hearts (water, not oil packed). Make your own dressing by whisking together red wine vinegar, oregano, pepper, a little salt and streaming in olive oil. Instead of crumbling a bunch of feta on it and adding a lot of fat, whisk some tiny bits into the dressing. If you want olives, but not the fat chop them fine and do the same. I have made this salad before. I really enjoy it on a hot day.
    This is considered low fat...all I know is that it's goooood...lol!





    Greek Salad


    2 Tbsp red wine vinegar


    1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil


    2 Tbsp fresh Italian parsley (minced)


    1/2 tsp dried oregano


    1/8 tsp salt


    1/8 tsp ground black pepper


    1 tsp honey


    1 large cucumber (peeled, seeded and diced)


    1 medium green pepper (seeded and julienned)


    4 cups romaine lettuce (chopped)


    12 black olives


    2 plum or roma tomatoes (quartered)


    1/4 small red onion (cut into rings)


    1 ounce feta cheese (crumbled)





    Whisk together vinegar, oil, parsley, oregano, salt, pepper and honey in a medium sized mixing bowl. Place the bowl in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the vegetables.





    When the dressing is chilled, whisk and add the cucumber and bell pepper and toss. Return to the refrigerator.





    After the lettuce is chopped, divide it between two plates and place the olives to one side of the plate. Place the tomatoes on the other side and the onions slices on the bottom, forming a triangle between the three.





    Arrange the cucumbers and peppers on one side of the plate. Pour the remaining dressing over the salads dividing equally.





    Crumble the feta cheese over the top and serve.





    This does NOT keep well for a long period, so make sure you eat or serve it within a day or two!


    Enjoy!

    I don't do mayo--but I need a great potato salad recipe?

    So I'm thinking something with a vinaigrette, but I'm open to other ideas too. Do you have a great one that does not involve mayonnaise? If possible, I would like something that you actually make yourself rather than a link. Thank you very much!I don't do mayo--but I need a great potato salad recipe?
    I make a warm German Potato Salad, here's my favorite from my grandmother (God, she was the BEST cook I've ever come across, rest her soul..........)





    German Potato Salad:








    3 pounds new potatoes


    1 yellow onion, quartered


    1/2 pound bacon, diced


    1 large red onion, diced


    3/4 cup cider vinegar


    1 tablespoon mustard seeds


    1/4 cup canola oil


    Salt and freshly ground pepper


    8 green onions, thinly sliced


    1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves





    Preheat the grill to high. Place potatoes in a large pot with the onion and cover with cold water. Cook, on the grates of the grill, or on a burner, until tender. Drain, discard the onion, and cut the potatoes into cubes when cool enough to handle. Place the potatoes in a large bowl and cover to keep warm.


    Place a large saute pan on the grates of the grill. Add the bacon and cook until crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Add the onions to the rendered bacon fat and cook until soft, about 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully add the vinegar and mustard seeds and cook for 2 more minutes. Whisk in the canola oil and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Add the hot dressing to the potatoes and toss gently to coat. Fold in the green onions and parsley. Season again with salt and pepper, to taste.





    I hope you enjoy this, and it becomes a family favorite of yours......I'm not a mayo person either, and this suits me to a ';t';





    ChristopherI don't do mayo--but I need a great potato salad recipe?
    I hate mayo so I just substitute either sour creme or a mustard/cream cheese mixture where a recipe calls for mayo. I won't give you recipes because you can search on line or a cookbook. I've also heard that people use hummus but I've never tried it.





    Works for me.
    I have one that people always devour.


    The recipe is for 4 portions.


    * 2 pounds Yukon potatoes, or red potatoes


    3 rashers bacon, browned and crumbled


    * Salt


    * 1 onion, fine chopped


    * 2 tablespoon, beef bouillion


    * 2-3 Tablespoon white vinegar


    * Pepper


    * 3-4 Tablespoon Saflo oil


    * 2 0r 3 sprigs of Chives, or green onions, fine chpped.





    Method:


    Boil potatoes in water, when done drain, and let them cool completely


    after they have cooled, peel an slice them into a thin slice.


    Now heat a 1/2 cup water and dissolve your beef bouillon


    Make a marinade from the onions, the vinegar, Salt and pepper, boillion and oil.


    Pour over cooled potatoes. now mix this very gently, and let stand in fridge for at least 1 hour.


    Last, sprinkle with sliced green onions or chives. Just before serving top with bacon.
    I make your garden-variety, classic American potato salad, but I substitute sour cream for the mayonnaise. I also add a few chopped, hard-boiled eggs.

    Size-Wise


    To gauge a 1/2-cup serving of potato salad, cup your hand. That is the recommended serving size for this potato salad.





    Substitute


    Substitute sliced green onions for chopped chives.
    No Mayo Potato Salad





    6 large potatoes


    3-4 scallions


    3-4 Tbs extra virgin olive oil


    1-2 tsp white wine vinegar


    Salt and freshly-ground black pepper to taste





    Scrub the potatoes, or peel them if you don't like skins. Cut into 1-inch cubes and cook in boiling water until almost starting to fall apart.





    While the potatoes are cooking, slice the scallions very finely, including the green part.





    Drain the potatoes and tip into a bowl. While they're still hot, pour in the olive oil and mix well. They should start to disintegrate a bit - this is the secret of this salad!





    Add the scallions, vinegar, salt and black pepper. Taste as you go along and add the amounts you think you like. Leave to cool; chill if you wish, and serve. Serves somewhere between 5 and 10.

    Whats your favorite potato salad recipe?

    The one everyone RAVES about? NOT off the internet, I can search for myself! I would love your tried %26amp; true recipe!Whats your favorite potato salad recipe?
    This is by far the best potato salad recipe...it is my mom's!





    Cook some red potatoes, peeled and cubed, until ';fork-tender';. Drain and put into a bowl and drizzle with bottled italian dressing (about a half cup for a couple of pounds of potatoes). Set aside.





    Dressing:





    half cup to one cup mayo (depends on your desired consistency-use your fave brand but I like hellman's)





    quarter cup zatarain's mustard (could use any CREOLE mustard but zatarain's is best)





    chopped boiled eggs, about 6 eggs


    chopped green onions, about half a cup or so


    cooked bacon, crumbled, about half a package


    salt and pepper to taste





    Mix the dressing and toss with the potatoes. This salad is good right away but I prefer it cold straight from the fridge. I don't usually measure the ingrediants, I just eyeball everything. This is my favorite potato salad. Good luck!Whats your favorite potato salad recipe?
    It's so awesome...bacon makes everything yum! Report Abuse

    Cube potatoes and boil until soft and tender...add enough mayo and mustard to moisten it well, depending on how many potatoes you use. Then you put an onion, chopped and some dill relish to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste. Eyeball it. That's what makes it good.
    Well i have 2 that I fix and always get compliments on.They are both the same except a little twist.Cooked red potatoes,chopped dill pickles,sauteed green onions(lots),chopped boiled eggs,mustard,real mayo,garlic powder,and pickle juice.That's one,after you add the pickle juice,and it sits a while add a pinch of sugar.The other one is the same except you leave out the boiled eggs and add a can of cheap mixed vegetables and black olives to it.You can put regular or red onions,when you saute them they are tender and not so oniony.Just cook the amount of potatoes you do all the time.I always use only real mayo also.Mustard is for color..hope this helps give them a try.
    I cheat with the dressing - but everybody LOVES this potato salad when I make it, so hey.....





    Red potatoes (pontiacs) - leave the skin on and chop them into hearty sized pieces. Boil until they're cooked to your liking. When they're 8-10 mins away from being done, throw in 2-3 eggs so that they can boil.





    Microwave 1/2 - 1 cup of peas - drain





    Drain the potatoes and the eggs. Peel the eggs and slice into chunks.





    Put the potatoes, eggs, and peas into a large bowl. Pour over some pre-made potato salad dressing (I use Kraft's).





    Combine. Done :-)





    If I didn't have any dressing in the fridge I'd combine mayonnaise with Italian dressing, salt and pepper.





    You can throw in some freshly chopped mint if you like...





    Cheers
    boil whole potatoes until soft.. let cool in a bowl.. while cooling add ( depending on serving size) add mayo a squirt of ketchup, a half can of sliced black olives, a half a jar of sliced green olives, chopped onion, dill, season salt, pickle pieces, and stir into a lumpy cream sauce.. i then half a half a container of sour cream... stir again.... now peel the potatoes and cube them into the mixture....if you have to much cream you can add more potatoes or add more mayo if dry.... i then decorate with hard boiled egg slices.....


    ( you will taste this at V's b-day party! making a ton of it!
    this is one of those family recipes that is all about taste testing, not measuring, so i am guessing on the amounts. this is a recipe i have used in several states and pot-luck situations to great success.





    5-10 med/large potatos of choice. i prefer white or red taters.


    3-5 eggs





    boil all these together. you choose to skin potatoes or not. red taters make pretty salad, with skin. boil until taters soft, but not mashed. eggs will be done then. cool overnight if possible.





    1 med-large onion, chopped


    can of cut black olives


    3-5 celery stalks, chopped


    dill pickle relish, one bottle





    mix ingredients with just enough real mayo to stick together, not be 'soupy'. add seasoning salt (i prefer johnny's salt, but any seasoning salt with paprika will work) to taste.





    serve. this is a heavy tater salad, with only the mayo as a 'sweet' flavor. no mustard, and i always use real mayo, not sweet mayo. the seasoning salt and the pickle adds just enough bitter taste to the palate, and the onion and celery provide crunch. this is best served cold, after being made for about 4-12 hours.





    hope it helps.
    Everyone loves my potato salad.


    Boil russet potatos until cooked, but not mushy


    peel skins off. rough cut into bowl


    I add one chopped hard boiled egg to every 4-5 potatos, so at least 2 eggs per batch.


    celery chopped fine ( about a half cup per 8 potatos)


    chopped kosher dill pickles (same as celery)


    1 sm. can sliced black olives


    1/2 small jar pimentos, chopped fine


    yellow mustard (about 1/4 cup per 8 potatos)


    good mayonnaise like Best Foods, Hellman's or Kraft (about 1 cup per 8 potatos)


    salt (about 1 tsp), pepper(1/2 tsp), onion powder(1 tsp), dill(1 tsp)


    Mix all together and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Adjust taste to your liking.


    After you have adjusted your salad, smooth top and sides of bowl and sprinkle with paprika and garnish with a sprig of parsley or a few black olives.





    Enjoy!

    My favorite salad is Ranch Taco Chicken Salad.





    1lb. boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips


    1T. oil


    1T. chili powder


    1 cup salsa


    1 cup ranch dressing


    8 ounce pkg. of taco cheese


    1 can black olives


    1/2 a sliced red onion


    1/2 cup crushed cool ranch doritos





    Cook chicken and chili powder in oil for 8 minutes or until chicken is done. Cool chicken. Combine the salsa and ranch dressing. Toss chicken, greens, cheese, black olives, and red onion together. Top with crushed chips and serve with dressing.



    SICILIAN ESCAROLE SALAD





    1 large head escarole (broad leaf type)


    1/3 cup olive oil


    2 tablespoons wine vinegar


    3 cloves garlic, pressed or finely minced and crushed


    a few drops balsamic vinegar


    1/3 teaspoon sea salt (adjust if using anchovies)


    pinch black pepper


    1/3 teaspoon basil leaves


    1/3 teaspoon oregano leaves


    1/3 teaspoon (or to taste) hot red pepper flakes


    1 can medium sized black ripe olives or oil cured, chopped


    1 large Vidalia or red onion, sliced thinly


    1 large english cucumber, quartered lengthwise, sliced into 1 inch chunks


    1 can anchovies (optional)





    Add wine vinegar to bottom of bowl.


    Peel garlic, and using a garlic press, add garlic to vinegar and allow to sit at least 10 minutes. (Alternatively, if you don't have a garlic press, mince garlic finely and then sprinkle with salt and rub the side of your knife across it to crush garlic to a fine paste, then add to vinegar as above.) Stir pepper, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes into vinegar. Add chopped onion, stir to mix together.





    Wash and thoroughly dry the escarole and separate the leaves, tearing them into 1-2 inch pieces. Add to vinegar and garlic, chop the cucumber into one inch pieces and season with black pepper.





    If using the optional anchovies, drain, break them into sections and add to the olive oil. Otherwise, pour olive oil over salad, sprinkle with salt and mix gently but thoroughly. Taste and adjust seasonings.





    Escarole salad can be easily varied to suit the ingredients that you have available, or what's seasonal at the market. But remember, it's best kept rather simple, with not too many ingredients, in the Italian tradition.





    This can be topped with Parmesan croutons or served with bruschetta.








    Variations:





    When in season, optionally add fresh ripe tomato slices and use chopped fresh basil and oregano. Another nice addition is roasted red peppers. Or add 2'; X 1/2'; slices of salami, mortadella or a sharp Italian cheese such as Asiago, Provolone or Pecorino Romano cheese. Or include a can of cannelloni beans (drained), or a can of Italian Tonno (tuna) packed in olive oil for a hearty lunch. Toss in 1/2'; by 2'; chunks of .


    Note: When using anchovies, adjust salt, as anchovies can be very salty depending on how they're packed.









    Three Bean Salad





    1 can black beans, well drained


    1 can white beans, well drained


    1 can red beans, well drained


    1 can corn, well drained


    2/3 cup mayo (more or less depending on the consistency you like)

    1/2 cup celery, finely diced

    Warm beef salad





    ingredients


    For the dressing:


    1 large clove garlic, minced


    1-1/2 Tbs. minced cilantro stems


    2 tsp. toasted coriander seeds


    1-1/2 Tbs. granulated sugar


    1 tsp. kosher or sea salt


    2 Tbs. clear fish sauce (or 1 Tbs. dark fish sauce and sea salt to taste)


    Juice of 1 large lime


    7 or more Thai chiles (or 4 or more serrano chiles)





    For the salad:


    1 lb. flank steak, trimmed


    3/4 cup pineapple juice


    Vegetable oil


    3 large stalks lemongrass (green parts and tough outer stalks removed), minced to yield 1/2 cup


    1 Tbs. thinly sliced kaffir lime leaves (or grated zest of 1 lime)


    1/2 sweet onion, such as Vidalia, very thinly sliced


    1/2 small cucumber, peeled, seeded, and thinly sliced on the diagonal


    2 cups bite-size pieces romaine lettuce, washed and dried


    1 cup bite-size pieces arugula, washed and dried


    12 small cherry tomatoes, halved


    1/4 cup mint leaves


    1/4 cup cilantro leaves


    6 cups warm cooked jasmine or basmati rice





    how to make


    To make the dressing


    With a mortar and pestle, pound the garlic to a paste. Add the cilantro stems and coriander seeds and incorporate them into the paste. Add the sugar and salt; continue pounding. Mix in the fish sauce and lime juice. Add the chiles and pound them lightly until they鈥檙e crushed but still remain whole. Taste the sauce -- it should be intense, with salty, sour, and peppery tastes predominating and a sweet undertone.





    To grill the steak


    Soak the flank steak in the pineapple juice for at least 1 hour (but no more than 3 hours) and light a hot grill fire. Remove the meat from the juice, reserving the juice for basting, and smear the meat with vegetable oil. Grill the steak, over the hottest part of the flame, searing the meat for 5 minutes on each side and basting occasionally. Remove and set aside to rest until cool enough to handle.





    To assemble the salad


    Slice the steak across the grain, cutting very thin, bite-size slices. Transfer to a bowl and add the minced lemongrass, lime leaves or zest, and the dressing, garnishing with the crushed chiles from the dressing. Mix well and set aside for 5 or 10 minutes to let the flavors marry. In another bowl, gently toss together the onion, cucumber, romaine, and arugula. Just before serving, add the cherry tomato halves, mint, and cilantro to the vegetables and greens. Toss gently. Add the meat mixture, toss gently, and serve the salad with the warm rice.
