6A COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL April 13, 2016 Cook's Corner Simple springtime salads! BY BETTY KAISER For the Sentinel www.cgsentinel.com @ 1/4 head red cabbage, shred, rinse and pat dry 2 whole carrots, shredded 1 sliced cucumber 1 diced tomato Black olives Grated Parmesan A fter a long, dreary win- ter, I am always happy to see fresh spring lettuce pop up in my husband, Chuck’s, garden. He literally has a green thumb when it comes to grow- ing lettuce. One day the garden bed is looking winter wimpy, and the next it is sprouting lovely lettuce. Of course, there are only two of us to eat it all, but he shares with friends and neighbors. Winter green salads at our house are pretty pathetic. Af- ter all, there are only so many ways that one can combine let- tuce with the variety of taste- less winter vegetables that are available. It doesn’t help that I’m not very fond of the color- ful packaged lettuce varieties that are available. I’m prob- ably a minority in that mind- set because there seems to be more packaged lettuce than fresh. But I digress. I was a little slow in dis- covering how tasty fruit could be in a green salad. After all, I grew up in the era when a tossed salad consisted of let- tuce, tomatoes, celery and green onions! But once I tast- ed my friend Kathe’s manda- rin salad, I became hooked on adding orange slices, straw- berries or whatever else was handy to a bowl of lettuce. Her candied almonds also dress up the simple ingredients. Add some cooked chicken and you’ve got a main dish. In wintertime, I particularly love to add pineapple to a crisp combination of shredded cab- bage and carrots. I do prefer to shred my own veggies, but in desperation I have bought the packaged variety. Toast a few sunfl ower seeds to add to the mixture and it will brighten up any meal. The following original recipe came off a can of Dole pineapple many years ago. And speaking of fruit, to- day’s fi nal recipe is from Kraft Foods for a creamy grape salad. Yes, you heard right. Grapes. I think it might make a nice dish to take to a potluck dinner. The only fruits are grapes and pine- apple chucks along with some slivered almonds and cream cheese dressing. It makes 24 servings of a half-cup each! My salad dressings are of- ten something that I buy off the shelf. I love the Litehouse Ranch Dressing made with buttermilk. I also like Kraft’s coleslaw dressing and New- man’s Own Raspberry and Walnut dressing. I think that taste-wise they do a better job Cottage Grove Sentinel cgsentinel @cgsentinel #cgsentinel Cottage-Grove-Sentinel ... shower her with flowers on prom night! Combine ingredients and serve with either Italian or a buttermilk ranch dressing. BEAUTIFUL CORSAGES Wrist or pin styles in your choice of flowers & colors FRESH ROSES LO-CAL ITALIAN DRESSING 1/2 cup oil 1/2 cup vinegar 1/4 cup water 1 teaspoon sugar Add to taste your choice of seasonings: celery salt, garlic salt, basil and dill weed. photo by Betty Kaiser Chuck Kaiser shows off another bundle of beautiful greens. than I do, and their products last a lot longer than mine. Just about the only salad dressing that I make from scratch is a low-calorie Italian recipe that I’ve had for years. Salads tend to be a last-min- ute creation at my house, so I have to use whatever I have on hand. Therefore, today’s recipes do not use any exotic or expensive ingredients. Give one of these a try and see how you like it. Enjoy! Dressing 1/3 cup oil 1/3 cup cider vinegar 1 cup sugar MANDARIN SALAD 1 can (20 ounce) Pineapple Tidbits 1/2 pound shredded cabbage 1/2 pound shredded carrots 1/2 cup sunfl ower seeds, slightly toasted 1/2 cup mayonnaise 2 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrated, undiluted Salt and pepper to taste (From the kitchen of Kathe McIntire) Candied Almonds Topping 1/2-1 cup slivered almonds 1/3 cup sugar Put sugar in fry pan and melt over medium heat. Add almonds and stir until coated. Cool on waxed paper and sprinkle on salad. Note: Make this in advance if you like and refrigerate. It keeps well. Mix together in a large serv- ing dish: 1 head of lettuce, chopped (any type) 1/2 bunch green onions 1 can mandarin oranges, drained 1 can sliced water chestnuts Optional: 1 cup slivered or diced cooked chicken Shake well and add to salad a few minutes before serving about 6 lucky diners. SUNFLOWER PINEAPPLE SLAW Drain pineapple, reserve 2 tablespoons juice. Rinse cabbage and carrots in ice water. Drain well. Com- bine pineapple with them and sunfl ower seeds. Stir together mayonnaise, orange juice, pineapple juice, salt and pepper. Pour over salad mixture, toss and chill. Serves 6. HIBERNIAN SALAD FROM IRELAND 1 bunch Romaine Lettuce cut as you desire Individually wrapped or by the dozen Put everything in a blender and blend well. Transfer to a container with a lid suitable for shaking and refrigerate several hours. CREAMY GRAPE SALAD 4 cups EACH seedless green and red grapes, halved 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks 1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted 4 ounces Philadelphia cream cheese (1/2 pkg.) 1/2 cup sour cream 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed Combine fruit and nuts in large bowl. Microwave cream cheese in bowl 20-30 seconds or until softened; whisk until creamy. Add sour cream and sugar; mix well. Add cream cheese mixture to fruit and mix lightly. Serve in a let- tuce cup and garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Note: I thinned out the dress- ing with a little milk and added a sliced banana. Fresh sliced strawberries would also brighten up the visual appeal. Also, if you don’t have sliv- ered almonds, toasted walnuts or pecans work just fi ne. And this recipe is easily pared down to serve fewer diners. Keep it simple and keep it seasonal!
