ANNIE'S TURKEY SALAD

Annie's Turkey Salad image

This recipe can be made with leftover turkey, or a turkey breast. It is my great-grandmother's recipe. The cook time will not include the baking of the turkey, just making the salad. Keeping the salad somewhat chunky is part of what makes it good. No food processors, please. I serve this on a bed of red leaf lettuce and garnish with red and green seedless grapes and pecan halves. Cubed jellied cranberry sauce is very good with it, so I place that on the plate around the salad. Serve with assorted crackers or breads.

ANNIE'S ORIGINAL SALSA

Annie's Original Salsa image

I spent 5 years working on this recipe. Everyone loves it, and it's one of the few recipes that is actually mine, not inherited from someone else! It's been so popular that a friend canned 4 ounce jars and gave them as wedding favors. My oldest daughter asked me to do the same thing, and so we gifted wedding guests with 300 small jars of salsa at her autumn-themed wedding. -Angela Barnes, Big Rapids, Michigan

Annie's Bean Sprout Salad image

This is one of my favorite salads to serve with Oriental dishes. When you have a stirfry, it is nice to have something cold and crunchy to go with it. My sister, Annette, made this the first time I tasted it, so it became Annie's Bean Sprout Salad.

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

3 medium green bell peppers, seeded and cut into matchstick julienne strips
2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into matchstick julienne strips
8- 10 ounce(s) fresh mung bean sprouts, rinsed and well drained
DRESSING
3 tablespoon(s) soy sauce, light or low sodium
2 tablespoon(s) rice wine vinegar (i prefer the seasoned rice vinegar, or sushi vinegar)
1 tablespoon(s) vegetable oil, neutral like peanut oil or corn oil
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) toasted sesame oil usually found in the oriental section of most markets.
- salt and pepper to taste if needed

Steps:

While cutting the veggies into strips, put 5-6 cups of water into a medium saucepan over medium heat. When finished cutting Peppers and Carrots, Blanch them quickly (15 to 30 seconds or so) drain and cool by running under cold water or place into ice bath and drain when cold. Place blanched veggies in a medium non reactive bowl and add rinsed and drained sprouts.
Stir in all dressing ingredients except salt. Mix well and chill for an hour or more. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed. This salad gets more "marinated" as it chills, and tastes better after at least an hour.
Serve with any Oriental dish (or grilled main course for a crunchy side)

ANNIE'S SCRUMPTIOUS MAPLE PECAN SPINACH SALAD W/MAPLE DRESSING

Annie's Scrumptious Maple Pecan Spinach Salad W/Maple Dressing image

UPDATED -- Please note: The nutritional information (fat and calories) on this salad for each serving is incorrect because it was calculated using all the salad dressing for 4-6 servings of the salad. The recipe makes lots of extra dressing. This salad is wonderful! My husband and I came up with the ingredients for the salad itself to go along with a delicious maple dressing from the book "What's cooking America". All the flavors of the different ingredients blend and coalesce into the most mellow, nutty sweet flavor, that is very autumnal and heavenly! And very nutritious too. You really need all the ingreds. to achieve the wonderful flavor. Make sure you toast the pecans, as the toasting really brings out the flavor, and let the jicama matchsticks sit in the ice water a bit to really intensify their crunchy sweetness.Make sure all the ingredients are very fresh. (I buy prewashed/packaged baby spinach to speed things up and dispense with the rinsing and drying). Vary salad ingredient amounts to taste (we never measure). I hope you enjoy it as much as we have.
