Provided by Jeanine Donofrio

Categories     Salad

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 garlic clove (minced)
½ teaspoon dried oregano (more for sprinkling)
¼ teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 English cucumber (cut lengthwise, seeded, and sliced ¼-inch thick)
1 green bell pepper (chopped into 1-inch pieces)
2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
5 ounces feta cheese (cut into ½ inch cubes)
⅓ cup thinly sliced red onion
⅓ cup pitted Kalamata olives
⅓ cup fresh mint leaves
¼ teaspoon sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, mustard, salt, and several grinds of pepper.
  • On a large platter, arrange the cucumber, green pepper, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, red onions, and olives. Drizzle with the dressing and very gently toss. Sprinkle with a few generous pinches of oregano and top with the mint leaves. Season to taste and serve.

WATERMELON SALAD WITH FRIED SHALLOTS AND FISH SAUCE



Watermelon Salad With Fried Shallots and Fish Sauce image

This simple salad hinges on a classic Southeast Asian flavor combination: sweet-hot-savory. This recipe calls for watermelon, but you could also use pineapple, cantaloupe, green mango or pomelo, or even leftover grilled steak or poached shrimp, as the combination of dressing, herbs and fried shallots can enliven a wide range of flavors. But using a mortar and pestle instead of the food processor and seeking out palm sugar instead of substituting brown sugar is strongly suggested here. The recipe will make more dressing than you need, so feel free to experiment after getting used to it.

Categories     dinner, salads and dressings, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 medium garlic cloves
2 to 12 fresh Thai bird's-eye chiles (depending on how much heat you enjoy), stems trimmed (see Tip)
3 tablespoons palm sugar (see Tip)
1/4 cup fish sauce
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2 cup homemade or store-bought fried shallots
3 pounds seedless watermelon (about 1 small or ¼ large), rind removed, cut into 1-inch chunks
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 small cucumber, halved lengthwise and cut into ½-inch slices
Large handful of roughly chopped mint leaves
Large handful of roughly chopped cilantro leaves
1/2 cup roughly crushed or chopped roasted peanuts

Steps:

  • Prepare the dressing: Combine garlic, chiles and sugar in the bowl of a large mortar and pestle. Pound into a fine paste. Add fish sauce and stir with the pestle until the sugar is fully dissolved. Add the lime juice and stir with the pestle to incorporate. Alternatively, you can combine the garlic, chiles, palm sugar (chop it into bits with a heavy knife or cleaver if it came in solid chunks), fish sauce and lime juice in a blender. Blend until the garlic and chiles are finely chopped, and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Prepare the salad: If using homemade shallots, skip to Step 3. If using store-bought shallots, toast them dry in a large skillet over medium-low heat until deep caramel brown and aromatic, about 3 minutes. (Alternatively, you can toast the shallots on a sheet tray in an oven or toaster oven at 375 degrees until deep caramel brown, about 6 minutes). Season generously with salt and transfer to a bowl.
  • Combine watermelon, onion, cucumber, mint, cilantro, peanuts, half of the fried shallots and ¼ cup dressing in a large bowl. Toss to combine. Taste and add more dressing as desired. (Excess dressing can be reserved in a sealed container in the fridge for up to two weeks.) Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with remaining shallots. Serve.

SIMPLE TUNA PASTA SALAD



Simple Tuna Pasta Salad image

Some of the best recipes are the most simple. This is one of those. I prefer it just as written, but you may add any ingredients you choose such as chopped onion, scallions, chives, water chestnuts, chopped hard-boiled eggs, lemon-pepper, dill, parsley, etc. I often take this to potlucks when I need a quick and easy (and economical) dish. I've never had to take home left-overs. Tuna pasta salads can be found at many pot lucks. Albacore tuna is plentiful on the Pacific Coast, and this recipe represents the Western U.S.

Provided by PanNan

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 ounces pasta shells or 12 ounces macaroni, cooked and drained
12 ounces canned chunk albacore tuna, drained
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup frozen green pea, thawed
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise (this amount is an estimate, you'll need enough to make the salad creamy) or 1 1/2 cups Miracle Whip (this amount is an estimate, you'll need enough to make the salad creamy)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the cooked and drained pasta with the drained tuna, chopped celery, peas, and mayonnaise, using only enough mayonnaise for the salad to be creamy.
  • (If it's made ahead, you may need more because the pasta will absorb the mayo.) Chill at least 1- 2 hours before serving.
