Sarasotas Sweet Spicy Tomato Salad Dressing Recipes

SWEET AND MILD COOKED TOMATO SALSA

Sweet and Mild Cooked Tomato Salsa image

When fresh tomatoes from my garden start ripening faster than I can eat them fresh, I make this salsa. I modified the recipe to match my taste for sweet salsa with just a bit of zip. I freeze peeled tomatoes so that I can have the garden-fresh taste in winter, too.

Sweet and Spicy French Dressing image

A Catalina-style dressing recipe that's been in our family for years. I can't count the times I've been asked for this recipe; it's way better than store-bought dressing. Works well for taco salad or any lettuce salad.

SARASOTA'S SWEET, SPICY & SAUCY BBQ MAYONNAISE

Sarasota's Sweet, Spicy & Saucy BBQ Mayonnaise image

Great on burgers, chicken or shrimp sandwiches, or pretty much any sandwich. I love the combination because it definitely has a sweet component, the chipotle gives it a "bite, " and it taste like BBQ sauce. It is just a simple quick sauce to make. I can't tell you how often I get asked for my "special sauce." I serve this with my Recipe #401439 which a favorite at BBQ's. But just don't think burgers, think turkey sandwich with onion, tomatoes, and avacado, or roast pork with shredded cabbage and caramelized onions, etc. Endless list. Have fun with it!

SARASOTA'S FAVORITE CREAMY MUSTARD SALAD DRESSING

Sarasota's Favorite Creamy Mustard Salad Dressing image

This is a great flavorful dressing made right in the blender. It makes a fair amount so you can cut the recipe in 1/2, but I make the whole recipe and then refrigerate for later in the week. I often have a small salad for lunch and this is perfect with it. I love to serve this with Recipe #413909.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4-8 Individual Salads, 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 olive oil
3 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon dried oregano
salt
ground black pepper
4 large beefsteak tomatoes (cut each into 3-4 thick slices, NOTE, keep the extra tomato tops and bottoms, you can chop them up t)
12 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
olive oil (to drizzle over the bread crumb mixture)
1 (7 ounce) bag Baby Spinach
1 small red onion, cut in half and thin sliced
1 lemon, cut in half (1/2 thin slice, the other side for the juice)

Steps:

Dressing -- In a small bowl or measuring cup, just mix the vinegar, oil, mustard, seasoning, salt and pepper. Set to the side.
Tomatoes -- In a 13x9" pan, add just a couple tablespoons of the dressing in the bottom and set your tomato slices in it. Coat both sides well. Just let them hang out about 1 hour. You can put in the fridge, but I just keep them out at room temperature which is just fine.
Topping -- Just mix the parmesan cheese and bread crumbs and slice your mozzarella for the topping on the tomatoes.
Baking -- on a cookie or baking sheet line it with foil or parchment paper and lay out your marinaded tomato slices. Heat the oven to 425 and bake 10 minutes on the middle shelf until soft but not over done. Remove and then top with a slice of the mozzarella and then a tablespoon or so of the bread crumbs and parmesan mixture and a drizzle of olive oil. Put back in the oven for about 5 minutes until the mozzarella begins to melt and the topping gets slightly brown.
Salad -- Just toss the salad in a bowl with the red onion, the juice of 1/2 lemon and some of the balsamic vinaigrette. NOTE: Depending on how much salad, you may have a little dressing left over. Just keep it for later, it is a great dressing.
Plating -- Serve up the salad lightly dressed on each plate and top with a couple of the tomato slices.
You can easily add some pan fried pancetta or bacon to the salad mix or even fresh cucumbers or mushrooms if you want. But I love just the spinach and tomatoes. ENJOY!

SARASOTA'S SPICY CORNBREAD SALAD

Sarasota's Spicy Cornbread Salad image

I love corn bread salad. The texture almost reminds me of a tabouleh salad but this has lots of flavor and spice. It is unique and makes a great side dish which people really enjoy but have no idea it is just cornbread. I serve this with my Margarita grilled chicken and corn on the cob. It reminds me of summer BBQ food.
