I cut them first and then cook them, just until they are done, and then rinse them in cold water to stop cooking. Then I usually toss them with a little vinegar and salt - remember, potatoes SOAK up salt. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - * Exported from MasterCook II * Blue Cheese Salad Recipe By : Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Salads Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 cup Sour cream 1 cup Mayonnaise 1 tablespoon Dry mustard 1 tablespoon Oregano 1 tablespoon Fresh ground black pepper 4 ounces Blue cheese 1/2 tablespoon Garlic oil 1 tablespoon Lemon juice 1 each Package fresh spinach Blend the sour cream and mayonnaise together in a bowl.

Combine all the ingredients (except the noodl= es) in a bowl, stir them together until the sugar is dissolved. Next, bring= a large pot of water to a boil for the noodles. While it is heating, gentl= y pull apart the strands of no odles with your fingers, loosening and fluffing them as you do so. Add the = noodles to the boiling water without any salt, and give them a quick stir w= ith a fork or a pair of chopsticks. Cook briefly until they are done but no= t overly soft, a few minutes a t most. Immediately pour them into a colander and rinse them in cold water = to stop the cooking. Shake the colander vigorously to get rid of as much wa= ter as possible, and put the noodles into a bowl. Stir the marinade again; then pour half of it over the noodles and toss the= m with your hands to distribute the marinade. Set the remaining marinade as= ide. If the noodles aren't to be used for a while, cover them with plastic = and refrigerate them. The flav ors, as well as the heat in the red pepper oil, will develop as the noodles= sit. Preheat the oven to 400=B0F. Pierce the eggplants in several places and bak= e them until they are soft and their skins have shriveled, about 20 minutes= , depending on their size. Turn them over after 10 minutes so they will bak= e evenly. When the eggplants are done, remove them to a cutting board and slice them in half lengthwise. Wh= en they are cool enough to handle, peel the skin away from the flesh. Don't= worry about any small pieces of skin that are difficult to remove - the fl= ecks of dark purple - brown ar e pretty. Shred the eggplants, gently tearing them into 1/4 - inch strips. = Add the ginger and garlic to the reserved marinade, then the eggplant strip= s. Turn the pieces over several times to make sure all the surfaces are wel= l coated, and set them aside. Bring a quart of water to a boil with a teaspoon of salt. Blanch the snow p= eas until they are bright green; then remove them with a strainer and rinse= them in cool water. Cut them into long, narrow strips and set them aside. = Next, put the sprouts in the w ater and cook them for about 30 seconds. Pour them into a colander, rinse t= hem with cold water, and lay them on a clean kitchen towel to dry. Roast the sesame seeds in a pan until they are lightly colored and smell to= asty. If the noodles have been refrigerated, allow them to come to room temperatu= re; then toss them with the eggplant strips and half the sesame seeds. Moun= d them on a platter, distribute the carrots, snow peas, and mung bean sprou= ts over the noodles, and garni sh with the remaining sesame seeds and the leafy branches of cilantro. Pres= ent the salad like this, layered and laced with the colorful garnishes, eit= her on a single large platter or on individual plates. Once served, guests = can toss the noodles and veget ables together to thoroughly mingle the different colors, textures, and tas= tes. This salad is a combination of recipes that were suggested to us by the Chi= na scholar and cook, Barbara Tropp, author of The Modern Art of Chinese Coo= king. She thought they would be particularly well suited to our vegetarian = menu, and they are. Variations: Instead of sesame seeds, use roasted peanuts or cashew nuts. Bl= ack sesame seeds can also be mixed with the white. In spring, blanched aspa= ragus tips can be used in place of the eggplants, and long red or white rad= ishes, thinly sliced, then sli vered, can be included among the garnishes. Serves 4 to six. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Nutr.

NOTES: * Chicken fruit salad curry -- One day I was invited to a beach picnic, and asked to bring a salad. A friend and I got together in his kitchen and concocted a curried chicken salad with grapes. It was delicious, but we forgot to write down the recipe. After some more experimentation, I have come up with this recipe.

I learned it from a friend and I have made a few changes that have improved it. I order caesar salad when I see it on the menu and to be honest, mine is the best. Start with a medium head of romaine lettuce. Holding head firmly, cut 1/2" off botton and then cut entire head in 1" slices. Put in cold water. Let sit while preparing dressing.In a very large wooden bowl add the following: 3" strip of anchovie paste; 1 coddled egg (a must); the juice of 1/2 lemon; 4 T balsamic vineger; 5 T olive oil (I do not use extra virgin because it does not have the taste; the less expensive, more pressed olive oil is my choice); 1-2 cloves or garlic pressed; 1/2 t seasoned salt; 1 T Lea and Perrin; Tobasco to taste, 4-5 drops; 2-3 T parmasean cheese fresh grated (never out of a box); your favorite croutons. Start with the garlic and anchovy paste. Mix in bowl with all liquids; add remaining ingredients; put in croutons to let sit in liquid for a few seconds. Thoroughly dry lettuce (use spinner if you have one) and put in bowl. Toss until all lettuce is coated. Add fresh groung pepper (I like a lot) and a few more croutons. Serve immediately. Offer more pepper. Please note that you cannot make this ahead; it will be no good in 1-2 hours. Also, if you do not eat all salad throw out remaining. Romane lettuce gets very bitter and cannot be left over.

Choose at least three of the varied salad greens - I usually select Boston and red leaf as my base and add two other types for their color and flavor. 2. Wash the greens, pat dry, and pile them into a large salad bowl. Adorn the greenery with the fruit and toasted walnuts. 3. Beat together the oil, vinegar, orange juice, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. 4. Pour the dressing over the greenery and toss well to coat evenly.

I served it on a salad of Boston lettuce with melon and chopped prosciutto. Slightly toast the poppy seeds (method below). Place all ingredients in a screw-top jar. Shake vigorously. Chill until serving. This dressing complements any green salad, but the addition of some small chunks of cantelope, honeydew, or star fruit to your greens will enhance the orange-honey flavor of the dressing. Or try it over slices of cold roast pork with nectarine wedges on watercress. Poppy Seeds: Did you know that it takes almost a million seeds to make a pound? These tiny bluish-black gems come from the opium poppy plant. But even if you eat a million, you won't experience any narcotic effect. Connoisseurs say those imported from Holland taste best. For even better flavor, seeds should be slightly toasted in a 350 degree oven for about 5 minutes. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - * Exported from MasterCook II * Orange-Jicama Salad Recipe By : Serving Size : 2 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Mexican Easy Entertain Salads Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- Butter lettuce leaves 1 tablespoon Fresh orange juice 1 each Large orange -- peeled/sliced 1 teaspoon White wine vinegar 1 cup Julienne of peeled jicama Salt & freshly ground pepper 1/2 cup Chopped red onion 1 tablespoon Minced fresh cilantro 3 tablespoons Olive oil Line plates with lettuce.

Pomelos are a big citrus fruit much like grapefruit, but somewhat drier and sweeter. This Thai recipe makes use of them and you should be able to find them this time of year. If not grapefruit will do. This is from an article in the San Francisco Chronicle, 1/30/91, by Joyce Jue. Peel and separate pomelo or grapefruit into segments. Remove the membranes. Seed. Gently flake the flesh apart into a bowl. Chill. Hand shred the chicken. Add chicken and shrimp to pomelo. In a small bowl mix together the chopped red chile with fish sauce, sugar, lime juice and coriander; toss with pomelo chicken mixture. Arrange the lettuce on a serving platter. Put the fruit mixture over the lettuce. Top with peanuts and 2 tablespoons of Crisp Fried Shallot Flakes, and garnish with red chile slivers. Serves 4 to 6 as a salad entree. CRISP FRIED SHALLOT FLAKES: Slice shallots into thin slices. Be sure they are all of the same thinness to ensure even cooking. Heat a pan with the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add shallots and fry slowly until browned and crisp, 5 to 10 minutes. The moisture in the shallots should be completely cooked out. Drain on paper towel. Store in an air-tight container. Will keep several weeks.
