Best 3 Elizabeths Salad Recipes

EGGS BENEDICT SALAD WITH DILL HOLLANDAISE DRESSING

Steps:

• Make the croutons: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spread out the English muffin cubes on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes or so, until they reach your desired crispiness.
• Cook the Canadian bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned, about 6 minutes per side; remove from the skillet and chop into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully add the eggs and cook for 7 minutes. Transfer them to an ice bath to cool, then peel them.
• Make the salad: Place the greens, red onion, croutons, bacon and eggs on a platter or individual plates. Slice the eggs in half and place on top. Sprinkle everything with salt and pepper.
• Make the dressing: Whisk the egg yolk and lemon juice in a large bowl, then gradually drizzle in the melted butter and olive oil, whisking constantly until thickened and smooth. Stir in the dill and season with salt and pepper. Dress the salad to your liking!

ELIZABETH'S POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place the potatoes and the kosher salt in an 8-quart pot and fill it with enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring the water to a gentle boil and cook the potatoes until tender. Drain. Peel the potatoes while they are still warm and slice them 1/2-inch thick.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, evaporated milk, vinegar, mustard, and sugar in a small bowl. In a large bowl, combine 1/3 of the potatoes, eggs, onion, and celery with about 1/3 of the mayonnaise mixture. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, combining them 1/3 at a time until they are well mixed. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate for 1 hour, then garnish with paprika and chives.
• Whisk together the egg yolk, mustard, and lemon juice in a large stainless-steel bowl. Add a few drops of the oil and continue whisking. Gradually add the oil in a thin stream while continuing to whisk. Stop every few seconds and check that all the oil has been incorporated. Season with the cayenne and salt and pepper. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

CORONATION CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Rub chicken on all sides with olive oil, season generously with salt and pepper and arrange on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until skin is golden and meat is cooked through, about 45 minutes. Let chicken cool slightly, then remove skin and bones and chop meat into bite-size pieces. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the red wine, mango chutney, tomato purée, curry powder, lemon juice and bay leaf and bring to a simmer. Continue simmering, stirring occasionally and adjusting heat as necessary, until sauce is quite thick, 8 to 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper; remove and discard bay leaf.
• Transfer sauce to a large bowl and let cool to room temperature, then add the mayonnaise and stir to combine. Add the cooled chicken and the apricots and stir to coat them in the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. For sandwiches, spread the chicken salad on thick slices of English white bread or seven-grain bread. Cut off crusts if making finger sandwiches for tea.
