the nice weather brings with it outdoor cooking. You cole slaw people keep out so which is it for you, potato or pasta salad? I like both and have 2 recipes for each
I like both. However, I've given up grains for going primal so no more macaroni. Potatoes are heavy starch, so I'll go light on that. Ribs & coleslaw are just fine.
Why not both? My family is always bbq'ing during the summer and we have salads of all kinds on the table. Not long ago a friend gave me a plate of her's which I like, so made it for family and they love it - goes well at a bbq also....... Chop up a head of cabbage Chop up 3-4 granny apples Add a box of raisins (I use golden) and plenty of nuts of your choice (I use sunflower seeds), mix in Poppy Seed salad dressing and you have a tasty, healthy salad....
Hot German potato salad is great! If you've never tried it, you really don't know what you're missing! Ingredients -- 3 pounds medium red potatoes 5 bacon strips, diced 1 medium onion, chopped 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons salt 1/4 teaspoon celery seed 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1-1/4 cups sugar 1 cup cider vinegar 3/4 cup water 3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley Directions -- Place potatoes in a Dutch oven; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until tender. Drain and cool. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp; using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels. Drain, reserving 4 tablespoons drippings. In the drippings, saute onion until tender. Stir in the flour, salt, celery seed and pepper until blended. Gradually add the sugar, vinegar and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Cut potatoes into 1/4-in. slices. Add potatoes and bacon to the skillet; cook and stir gently over low heat until heated through. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve warm. Yield: 8 servings.
It's a sweet & sour potato salad. The sugar is needed to soften the taste of the cup of cider vinegar. Personally, I tweak it a little by using brown sugar instead of refined (white) sugar.
I make a pasta salad tossed with grape tomatoes, raw baby spinach, a little minced onion and garlic.. vinegar and oil. People seem to love it.
I will be accepting any salad you make and will grade them free of charge please express mail to 1313 Mockingbird Lane , Westbrook , Maine 04092
What about my special Glock en Spiel salad . Lay it on a bed of pure White Goat's cheese and decorate with halved Black radishes . Special huge tomatoes from Azerjaiban are deep purple to Black, and they should lie alongside the White hearts of Chicory . Finally chop your White Onions ( not Red today) and add that final ingredient , English sliced Black Pudding . Orgasmic for those liking Black on White mixes .
Potato salad made with green onions, chopped parsley, green peppers and seasoning. For the dressing I use mayonaise, buttermilk and a bit of vinegar pour this over the potatoes and mix. Refrigerate till you are ready to eat.
Hands down, potato salad. Especially if you make it with redskin potatoes. Our local supermarket makes an in-store version they call Steakhouse Potato Salad. It's got huge chunks of redskin potato, with just a dash of steak sauce. Not enough that it turns it dark, or that it overpowers the flavor, but enough that it's there in the background. I'd eat it off the floor using an old sandal as a spoon.
It doesn't need ALL that sugar. This is my mom's recipe: 12 medium russet potatoes 1 lb bacon (reserve fat) 2 small onions, chopped 4 tbsp flour 3 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper 1 tsp celery seed 1 ½ cup of water 1 cup vinegar Boil potatoes in large stock pot until tender. Remove from water let stand on a towel till cool enough to peel them. Slice thinly into crock pot. Fry bacon until crisp, but not burned. Remove the bacon, let drain. Meanwhile, sauté the onion in bacon fat till tender. Slowly whisk in the flour under medium low heat. Allow to heat thru, then slowly whisk in the water, then the vinegar. Add remaining ingredients, simmer for one minute. Break up the bacon, sprinkle over the potatoes, pour the sauce over potatoes and combine. Keep warm, on a low setting in the crock pot until serving
