Post salad recipes here - your own or any other favorites

 

A simple creation of my own that looks particularly good preplated for a sit-down dinner (I usually do my cooking for Friday night shabbos dinner):

 

Pear and Radish Salad

 

Salad (makes enough for two)

1 head Red Leaf Lettuce

1 Red or Brown Pear

1 bunch Radishes

 

Shred lettuce and arrange as a bed on the salad plates.

Thinly slice the radishes and spread them on top of the letuce, leaving a few left over.

Slice the pears into matchsticks (cut the sides off the pear from top to bottom, leaving a square around the core. Then slice the pear sides into thin sticks, again from top to bottom) and spread over the radish slices.

Spread the remaining radish slices over pears.

Dress the salad with the dressing below, and serve.

 

(to make for more than 2, just get more radishes and pears - one head of lettuce was more than enough for six last night)

 

 

 

Dressing

2 Tbsp chopped shallots (about 1 medium shallot)

2.5 Tbsp Cider Vinegar

.25 tsp Pepper

.25 tsp Sugar

3 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

 

Mix all ingredients other than olive oil together in a bowl. Add the olive oil slowly, stirring constantly.

 

That's it

This is a salad that's made its way from my brother's mother-in-law to my family and has since migrated to my wife's family; it really is that good (and I'm really not a salad person, generally).

I'll stick this in every thread... (I rounded some of the numbers to realistic measuring)

 

m e t r i c c o n v e r s i o n c h a r t

 

U.S. Units Metric Units

1 teaspoon = 5 milliliters

1 tablespoon = 15 milliliters

1 fluid ounce = 29.5 milliliters

1 cup (8 fl. ounces) = 237 milliliters

1 pint (16 fl. ounces) = 473 milliliters

1 quart (32 fl. ounces) = 946 milliliters

1 gallon (128 fl. ounces) = 3.8 liters

 

And the reverse...

 

1 milliliter = 0.2 teaspoon

1 centiliter = 2.0 teaspoons

1 deciliter = 0.5 cup

1 liter = 1.0 quarts

1 dekaliter = 2.6 gallons

1 teaspoon (metric) = 1.015 teaspoons

1 tablespoon (metric) = 3.044 teaspoons

1 standard cup = 1.0567 cups

 

Hope this helps!

Swedish seafood sallad

 

3-4 portions

 

Sallad

1 boiled lobster or crab

OR 15 boiled mussles

300 g shrimps

100-150 g champignons

125 g frozen small peas (petit pois)

300 g asparagus

2 tomatoes

100 g iceberg lettuce

 

Dressing

2 TBsp vinegar

½-1 clove garlic, pressed

4 TBsp olive oil

2 TBsp water

salt and pepper

 

Start with mixing the dressing, as it needs to stand and rest for a while, that way it tastes more.

 

Cut the lobster/crab into pieces

Rince the shrimps

Slice the champignons

Thaw the peas. If you're in a bit of a hurry, put them in a plastic bag, and put it into slightly above room tempered water for a minute or two.

Cut the tomatoes into cloves

Cut the asparagus in pieces.

 

Slice the lettuce and spread it on a deep plate, and put all the other ingredients in groups on top.

OR Mix everything in a sallad bowl.

 

Pour the dressing over, and let stand for a while before serving.

 

Serve bread and butter on the side.
