Turkey And Millet Chefs Salad Recipes

TURKEY AND MILLET CHEF'S SALAD

Steps:

• Toast the millet in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 2 cups water and a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to medium low and cook until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork, then let cool, uncovered, 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the dressing: Whisk the dijon mustard, vinegar, honey, mustard powder and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a small bowl until smooth. Whisk in the vegetable oil.
• Chop the turkey, cut the tomatoes into small chunks and thinly slice the radishes. Combine the turkey, tomatoes and radishes in a large bowl. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the dressing, season lightly with salt and pepper and toss. Add the millet and all but 1/4 cup of the remaining dressing and toss again. Add 2 cups salad greens and toss.
• Divide the remaining greens among plates. Top with the millet mixture and sprinkle with the cheese. Drizzle with the remaining dressing.

CHEF'S SALAD

Steps:

• Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and put into a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper and toss with 1/2 cup of the dressing. Divide the lettuce among 4 large individual serving bowls. Arrange the cheese, meats, eggs, and avocado, like the spokes of a wheel, on top of each salad. Scatter the tomatoes, cucumbers and croutons on top. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve and pass the remaining dressing at the table.
• In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir in the shallots. Gradually whisk in the oil to make a smooth dressing. Use immediately or store covered, in the refrigerator, for up to a week.
• Set a medium bowl on a kitchen towel shaped like an "O" (this helps keep the bowl steady while whisking). Whisk together the vinegar, mustard, garlic, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper in the bowl. Slowly drizzle in the oil while whisking continuously until the mixture is combined and blended well. Use right away, or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 3 days. For variety, add your favorite dried or chopped fresh herbs.
• Mash the garlic and salt to a paste with the side of a chef's knife. In a medium bowl, whisk together the garlic, mayonnaise, 1/4 cup buttermilk, parsley, chives, scallion, vinegar and pepper to taste. If the sauce is very thick, thin the dressing with a couple tablespoons more of the buttermilk. Use immediately or store covered, in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, 1/4 cup blue cheese, half and half, sour cream, lemon juice, Worcestershire, and salt, until smooth. Gently stir in the remaining 1/4 cup blue cheese and season with pepper to taste. Use now or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Make a paste with the garlic and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt by crushing them with the side of a chef's knife. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the garlic, mayonnaise, chili sauce, ketchup, onion, relish and egg until combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Use now or store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
