A restaurant-worthy House Salad with greens, candied pecans, dried cranberries, blue cheese and mandarin oranges in a creamy homemade dressing -- and easy enough for any night of the week!

Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Salad     Side     Side Dish

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 19

½ cup water
½ cup granulated sugar
2 ½ cups coarsely chopped pecans
Kosher salt, to taste
1 ½ cups mayonnaise
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups spring mix lettuce
¾ cup sweetened dried cranberries, such as Craisins
¾ cup crumbled blue cheese
¾ cup mandarin oranges, drained
⅓ cup candied pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small saucepan on the stovetop, combine sugar and water. Bring to a boil, whisking to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat, stir in the pecans; toss to coat. Spread the nuts on a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Toast in the oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until toasty. Keep a close eye on them so that they don't burn. While still warm, sprinkle the nuts with a little bit of kosher salt to taste. Set aside to cool completely. Once cool, you can store the candied nuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a month.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar, lemon juice, kosher salt, black pepper, onion powder and garlic powder. Add the vinegar and mustard, whisk to combine.
  • Whisk in the oil, one tablespoon at a time, blending well after each addition. The mixture should be thick, but pourable. If it's too thick, gradually whisk in some water until it reaches the desired consistency. Store in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Arrange the lettuce greens on individual salad plates or on a large serving platter. Top with candied pecans, blue cheese, cranberries and oranges. Just before serving, drizzle the dressing over the salad, to taste.

ASIAN CHICKEN SALAD



Asian Chicken Salad image

A perfect salad for leftover BBQ, boiled, broiled or baked chicken. A very crunchy salad with a tasty sweet Asian-style dressing. The kids love it too! The Chinese rice noodles are of the cellophane type and can be found in the Asian section of most grocery stores. They are often in rectangle form and in clear packaging.

Categories     Salad     Green Salad Recipes

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
¼ cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 (8 ounce) package dried rice noodles
1 head iceberg lettuce - rinsed, dried, and chopped
4 boneless chicken breast halves, cooked and shredded
3 green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted

Steps:

  • Prepare the dressing 30 minutes ahead of time by combining the brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, salad oil, and rice vinegar in a salad dressing carafe.
  • To prepare the Chinese rice noodles, heat a skillet with a few tablespoons of oil and break off a little bit of the noodles and add them to the skillet and fry them. They will puff up in the skillet, so only add a few at a time. As they begin to puff up, remove and drain them on paper towels. Be sure to cook long enough as the under cooked noodles will be like eating needles. Once cooked, add them to the salad mixture.
  • In a large bowl combine the iceberg lettuce, cooked and shredded chicken, green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Let chill about 10 minutes, and just before serving add the cooked rice noodles. Serve in salad bowls and offer the dressing in a pourable container so your family can add as much dressing as they want. You can also pour the dressing over the top of the salad, toss, and serve immediately.

Another one of those recipes that I have to keep copies of on hand because I get so many requests for it. Great on croissants or with any type of cracker.

Provided by Debbie Quimby

4 c cooked chicken breast, cubed

1 c pecans, chopped
1/2 c mayonnaise

2 Tbsp honey
3/4 c celery, chopped fine (optional)
1 tsp poppy seeds (optional)
seasoning to taste (i use cajun seasoning, like tony cachere's)

Steps:

  • 1. Combine seasoned chicken, grapes, celery (if used) and pecans in a large bowl, set aside.
  • 2. Mix mayonnaise, sour cream, honey and poppy seeds in a small bowl to blend. Add to chicken mixture.
