Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

2/3 cup cranberries, thawed if frozen
2 tablespoons honey, plus more as needed
1/2 cup walnuts
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 head butter lettuce, large leaves torn
1 bunch watercress, trimmed and torn
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh tarragon

Steps:

  • Put the cranberries in a small saucepan; add the honey and 1/3 cup water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries pop and the liquid thickens, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.
  • Toast the walnuts in a small dry skillet over medium heat, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool slightly, then roughly chop. Stir the olive oil and vinegar into the cooled cranberries. (Add more honey, 1 teaspoon at a time, if the vinaigrette is too tart.) Season with salt and pepper.
  • Toss the lettuce and watercress in a serving bowl; season with salt and pepper. Spoon the vinaigrette over the lettuce and top with the walnuts and herbs. Toss before serving.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Salad Recipes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound fresh cranberry beans, shelled (about 1 1/2 cups)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
5 ounces cornbread, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon honey
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces dandelion greens, trimmed and cut crosswise into 2-inch pieces (about 4 cups)
1/4 ounce Parmesan cheese, grated (about 2 tablespoons)
1/2 cup small fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Place beans in a medium pot and cover with 4 inches of water. Season generously with salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer beans until very tender, about 40 minutes; drain. Beans can be stored in refrigerator, in cooking liquid just to cover, up to 3 days; cool completely before refrigerating.
  • Meanwhile, preheat broiler. Spread cornbread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and broil until just golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk together vinegar, garlic, honey, and oil; season with salt and pepper. Combine greens, beans, cheese, and basil in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with dressing and toss with cornbread.

CRANBERRY CORNBREAD



Cranberry Cornbread image

Cranberries meet cornbread in this one-bowl fall mashup. A crunchy golden edge forms around the cornbread thanks to the hot skillet the batter is poured into. The mixture crisps in the oven-melted butter that coats the pan, resulting in browning and caramelization that delivers maximum flavor. While baking, the fresh cranberries soften, ensuring a burst of juicy tartness with each bite. Use either fine- or medium-grind cornmeal, as coarse varieties make for an overly gritty bite.

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 tablespoons/113 grams unsalted butter, plus more for serving
1 1/4 cups/180 grams fine- or medium-grind yellow cornmeal
1 cup/125 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 large eggs
1 cup/240 milliliters buttermilk
1 cup/115 grams fresh or thawed frozen cranberries

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the middle of the oven and heat oven to 375 degrees. Place the butter in a 10-inch cast iron skillet, and place the skillet in the oven to melt the butter.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Add the eggs and buttermilk, and whisk until combined.
  • Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. The butter should be completely melted. Pour about three-quarters of the melted butter into the cornmeal batter, and stir until combined. Pour the batter into the hot skillet, and sprinkle the cranberries evenly over the top.
  • Bake until the cornbread is browned around the edges and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve hot with butter.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, young dandelion greens: They have a milder flavor and less bitterness. If you can't find dandelion greens, arugula or watercress are good substitutes.
  • Toast the cornbread croutons until they are crispy: This will add a nice crunch to the salad.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A light vinaigrette is all you need to enhance the flavors of the ingredients.
  • Serve the salad immediately: The croutons will get soggy if they sit in the dressing for too long.

Conclusion:

This cranberry bean, dandelion green, and toasted cornbread salad is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy these seasonal ingredients. It's packed with flavor and texture, and it's sure to be a hit at your next potluck or picnic. So next time you're looking for a new salad recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
