While posting on a different topic, I started writing about food, which made me hungry...for new recipes!
Anyone wish to contribute? I'll begin with a salad I've made on many an occasion. It's nummy. This one can be made at an event, even! Most everything can be made beforehand (toss apple slices with citrus juice to slow down browning) and tossed together before serving. Impress your friends! Poison your enemies! (Read the whole recipe and make sure you or your eaters aren't allergic to anything in it.)
--Chicken, Apple, and Walnut salad--
Salad Dressing -
1/4 Cup Honey
1 T Curry Powder
1/4 Cup Rice Wine Vinegar
3/4 Cup Salad Oil (Canola, Vegetable, Corn, etc. NOT Olive oil!)
Stir above ingredients together in a bowl or other container. Something with a lid for additional shaking is good. This makes over a cup of dressing, so expect left-over dressing if you're only cooking for a small number of people. Adjust above amounts to taste.
Salad Ingredients-
Lettuce (most any variety, I prefer red leaf)
Apples (cut into bite-sized pieces or slices. I usually get Green apples of some kind)
Chicken (skinless, boneless breasts; boiled or cooked until done; grilled is fine, too)
Walnuts (chopped, Walnut Bits, skip the nuts, whatever)
Toss the ingredients together with the dressing, and serve. Preferably with scones, which complement this salad wonderfully.
Anyone with me? I can't be the only cook around, can I? I have other recipes, if anyone's interested (some, such as Bananas Foster and Piarran Mist, can't be made at an event, but others can).
