Mayo

My Gram used to make this and serve over lettuce, onion, and tomato....she called it ';Lettuce';Does anybody know any good salad dressing recipes?
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.

1/2 cup green onions, thinly sliced

Combine soup ingredients in large saucepan over low heat to simmer (reserve snow pea pods and carrots for broiling or stir frying).

    Put tomatoes, capsicum and onion in a large bowl and mix lightly.





    Make up the dressing by whisking together the balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper, mustard and mash in the anchovy fillet if using.





    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!
