Vegetable Salad

10 years ago

Hiding in the recipe box from ages ago. A nice crunchy salad, made with all raw vegetables. Just chop up anything you have. Diced carrots, celery, squash, zuchinni, beets, green beans, corn off the cob, grated potatoes, turnips, sprouts, you get the idea.
I also enjoyed the dressing, a good compliment to the ingredients. It may not be to your tastes, or diet(?) Cut in half! This makes a FULL blender of dressing.
1 cup vinegar
1 3/4 cup sugar
1 cup ketchup
1 medium onion
2 cloves garlic
1 cup (Wessen) oil
1/4 tsp. powdered cloves
Dash salt
1/4 tsp celery salt (or stalk of celery)
Put in blender and blend together.

Let's turn this into a YOUR FAVORITE DRESSING THREAD!

I loved my MIL's roquetort dressing and this is close.
She used to mix everything in a bowl, pour into a Mason Jar and shake shake shake!

Roquefort Dressing Recipe

Serving Size: 2 cups

ÃÂ¼ cup sour cream

1/3 cup buttermilk

1 ÃÂ½ cups mayonnaise

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

ÃÂ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

ÃÂ¼ teaspoon Tabasco

5 ounces of Blue Cheese (Roquefort or some other style)

Combine all the ingredients except for the cheese in a bowl and whisk them until smooth. Crumble in the blue cheese and mix together gently if you like clumps of cheeses in your dressing or more aggressively if you like it more smooth.

Old Fixer, your dressing sounds pretty close to a nice French dressing, which is always so good on veggies. I like the addition of the clove....I'd have to try that.

I might make a salad with zucchini and carrot ribbons, jicama and sweet potato matchsticks, celery.....etc. What else would be good, I wonder?

The trick to most Indian cooking is to have the masalas (spices) on hand. They can last a long time if kept in airtight containers, and only need a minute or 2 dry-fried in a pan before using. After that, it really is a quite simple cuisine to prepare. And you can mix and match various masalas, rather than follow exact recipes. Experiment! Lentils and beans, too, are generally interchangeable. No 2 Indian cooks prepare the same dish in the same way... And it is a surpisingly quick way to prepare delicious meals once you've tried it once or twice! Just took a pic of my masala shelf... This post was edited by shaxhome on Wed, Apr 3, 13 at 8:38

these are great ideas! Thanks - especially for validating my thinking that I should roast the fennel separately. Alexa, what fun idea to steam and then stuff the blue potatoes! All kinds of ideas on what to stuff them with, too. It's more work that I want for this thanksgiving I think, but what a great idea for future events. They are quite small - maybe one to three bites each... and with blues they could be so attractive with the right stuffing. Laurie, the grilled sweet potato salad sounds great, too. W/ the sweet potato souffle it won't be on this year's Tgiving table, but it's also a keeper. And the flavors in the dressing are a great guide, so thank you for posting it! Also, I really didn't think I'd like the rutabaga. I bought it b/c the farmer had samples of grilled rutabaga and I found it very mild. She also had stalks of brussell sprouts but I have such mixed luck with them (sometimes sweet, and sometimes they trigger a gag reflex) so I left them alone. She did have me take ONE sprout to roast... so I'll do that in the next day or so. I think they may need to wait a few more years to cycle through the 7 year rule, though. Now that two of you have mentioned blue cheese I have to think more seriously about that. I've got some picky / prickly eaters who may not appreciate it (and DH doesn't like balsalmic) but I suppose instead of dressing the veg I could create different dressings and folks could choose... with blue cheese crumbles in another dish... I was at a craft show yesterday and bought a chardonnay and garlic marinade that would be great with the veggies, too. So I've got four flavor choices: balsalmic reduction, creamy blue cheese, chardonnay garlic, and dijon. hmmmmm....

It is nice to have some good Italian or French bread to mop up the sauce. Marcella HazanÃ¢ÂÂs Garlic Scented Tomato Salad Servings: 4 to 6 servings 4 to 5 garlic cloves Salt Choice quality red wine vinegar 2 Pounds fresh, ripe, firm, round or plum tomatoes 1 dozen fresh basil leaves Extra virgin olive oil Peel the garlic cloves and mash them hard with a knife handle. Put them in a small bowl or saucer together with 1 to 2 teaspoons salt and 2 tablespoons of the red wine vinegar. Stir and let steep at least 20 minutes. Skin the tomatoes raw (I never skin or peel), you can blanch them quickly then plunge them into ice water so they don't cook, then slice them into thin slices and spread the slice out in a deep serving platter. When ready to serve the salad wash the basil leaves in cold water, shake off their moisture and tear them into 2 or 3 pieces each and sprinkle them over the tomatoes. Pour the garlic steeped vinegar through a wire strainer, distributing it over the tomatoes. Add enough extra virgin olive oil to coat the tomatoes well, toss, taste and correct if necessary for salt and vinegar.
