coleslaw...dressing???
Comments (15)DG, that sounds interesting.. Jim and Marilyn, I have no idea what Zestu is. David, That Emeril's slaw sounds good to me..but hubby wouldn't be havin it..LOL To much stuff.. Deanna, Dinner was at 6...and was goood...on homemade rolls..the one's Lori had on her blog from BlissTree..but I added 1 c of White Wheat to the blend. Well because he usually asks for Yellow Slaw..and no one seems to know what that is...Maybe Teresa does??? I have to put Mustard in his slaw that tops BBQ..I was going to only add some to his..but then I found this recipe that started with some Grainy Mustard and mayo...and it sounded good to me too.. I blopped some mustard in, tossed in some sour cream, and 2x as much mayo, then some good grinds on the peppermill..tasted...added a bit more mustard, some rice vinegar and a big ol squirt of Agave..thinned with buttermilk. It was quite tasty and had just the right bite to cut the sweetness of my BBQ sauce. Annie, I'll have to try that cooked dressing one day. I think that was similar to something I remember at family get togethers....See MoreSide Salads
Comments (14)last spring I cooked for 150 members of a College chorus....and the list of allergies that was presented to me was mind boggling!! There was sea food ( like I was going to serve them crab!) and peanuts of course and pork and garlic and wheat and those who were vegitarian and those who were vegan and lactose intolerant and the list goes on!! My go to for a mob pasta salad is pretty much this dressing: SALAD DRESSING 1T dijon mustard 1clove of garlic, crushed (or chopped very fine) 1T honey 1/3 cup cider vinegar balsamic vinegar Mix together, I use a wire whisk 1/2 cup olive oil...whisk the oil in a slow stream, whisking all the while Then I like to add some dried or fresh herbs....most of the time I use oregano. Make 4 times the above recipe: 1/4 cup Dijon 4 cloves garlic crushed ¼ c honey 1 1/3 cup vinegar Whisk and add 2 cups Olive oil in a slow stream whisking. Add 2 tsps oregano and about ½ cup parmesan cheese For 150 kids I would make the recipe to 3 cups of vinegar and 4 cups of olive oil. Not really a recipe But for 150 for a side salad I would cook 5 pounds of Penne or fusilli. And cut up about 1 cup of veggies for every pound of pasta....at least. I often make the salad at least half veggies and sue a pasta as a filler. Cut up green onions, peppers, carrot buttons, halved cherry tomatoes, cuke, broccoli, peas ( but lots of people pick out peas!) zucchini, broccoli florets....whatever...And grated cheese...at least a cup per pound of pasta for bagged graded chedder.... if you use parmesan use 1/4th that amount. I nuke the have veggies like carrots and broccoli for about a minute just to soften a little so the dressing sinks in. Add dressing to moisten all....keeps well for about 5 hours....then it begins to get watery but is still good. Here's the slaw I use... Fred Harvey Cole Slaw: Shred one medium head of cabbage and one small onion, cover with 1/2 cup of sugar. Bring to a boil 1 tsp sugar 1/2 Tablespoon salt 1/2 tsp dry mustard 1/2 tsp celery seed 1/2 c peanut oil 1/2 c cider vinegar. Pour over the cabbage and set stand at least 4 hours before eating. Keeps well. And here are the notes on another salad I have used...well received. Oriental cabbage slaw Oriental slaw: 7 pounds of bought slaw mix and made double the recipe for dressing. I cooked the noodles in a stick of butter with 2 T sugar until they were brownedcooled and added to the salad at the last moment. Served about 150 ORIENTAL NOODLE SALAD 1 Lg (2lb) pkg cole slaw mix 1 bunch green onions (5-6), chopped, include some greentops) ½ C sunflower seed ½ C slivered almonds 1 pkg Beef Raman Noodles, crushed 1 pkg Chicken Ramen Noodles, crushed Dressing seasoning mix from Ramen Noodles (optional,but it does add flavor) 1 C canola oil ½ to ¾ C sugar (to taste) ½ C vinegar ¼ C soy sauce 1 Tbsp sesame oil Blend the dressing ingredients together well, to disolve sugar. In a large bowl combine slaw mix, green onions, sunflower seeds and almonds. Pour dressing over the slaw and refrigerate until serving, add crushed noodles and toss just before serving. The noodles will soften and soak up the dressing once they are added. While many like the crunch of the noodles, I like it just as well after it has set, even the next day. Will keep 5 days at 40°. 6-8 servings (very generous) I also have recipes for several hot casseroles and both meat loaf and ham loaf sized to feed a bunch. If this isn't what you want....just ask and I'lls ee what I find. Good luck!! Linda C...See MoreLOOKING for: Southern Style Cole Slaw Dressing
Comments (8)Years ago when I was working in a restaurant our chef made a wonderful slaw dressing. I've made it ever since. I'm in the south if that makes any difference. There are no measurements so you have to judge how much you will need for the amount of cabbage used. For a small batch maybe 4 servings: 1 TB white vinegar 3 tsp. sugar 1/4 cup veg. oil 1/2 cup sour cream 1/2 cup Mayo whip it all together & pour over slaw.Don't forget to add some shredded carrots too. You may want to add some chopped apple or some crushed pineapple if you want some extra sweetness. add more or less of the above ingredents for the amount of your slaw. Taste the mixture and see what you think it might need before pouring over the cabbage. Here is another excellent recipe: Aunt Nancy's Coleslaw 1 (8-ounce) can chunk unsweetened pineapple, in juices, strained 1 carrot, peeled and roughly chopped 1 cup mayonnaise 1/3 cup sugar 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar 1 teaspoon celery seeds 1� pounds green cabbage, shredded Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1. Put the pineapple and carrots into a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. 2. Stir together the mayonnaise, sugar, vinegar, and celery seeds in a large bowl. 3. Add the cabbage and the pineapple-carrot mixture, and toss until evenly coated. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 4. This slaw is best if made several hours or the day before so the flavors can come together. Keep covered in the refrigerator until ready to serve. (I've been making this one lately, its very good.)...See MoreCan I sub prepared mustard for dry mustard in slaw?
Comments (13)Fred Harvey was out to make a buck. He knew that coach passengers on the trains were hungry when the train stopped, and rushed to fine a good sandwich shop. So he built good clean standardized restraunts as close to the train station as he could and manned them with "Harvey Girls"...clean cut looking girls who wore a uniform and were held to strict standards. His menus were uniform and you knew what to expect at a Harvey House And he succeeded and built more restaurants. he was the Howard Johnson of the rail roads; he created the first chain of restaurants. After he died his sons and grand sons carried out his legacy....See Morelindac92
