Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 cup sliced strawberries
1 cup sliced peaches
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup raspberries
1 cup sliced bananas
1/4 cup citrus ginger infusion (see first recipe of this show)
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/4 cup toasted, flaked coconut
Oil, for frying
8 large square wonton wrappers
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 cup whipped cream
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
2 tablespoons coconut rum
1 cup diced pineapple
1 cup diced mango
1/2 cup diced papaya
1 cup honeydew balls
2 1/2 cups water
5 cups granulated sugar
2 cups chopped lemon grass

4 lemons, zested and juiced

Steps:

  • Preheat a fryer to 360 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, combine pineapple, mango, papaya, honeydew, strawberries, peaches, blueberries, raspberries, bananas, ginger infusion, and lime juice. Mix well and set aside.
  • Place a wonton wrapper inside a large ladle. Press the wrapper down with a smaller ladle and immerse in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, releasing the second ladle once it will hold its shape. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel lined plate. Repeat with the other wrappers. While the wrappers are still hot, sprinkle the inside with powdered sugar.
  • Combine the cream and the powdered sugar. Whip until soft peaks form. Add the rum and whip to medium peaks. Right before serving, sprinkle the fruit with the toasted coconut and toss again.
  • Place the wrapper either in a decorative martini or margarita glass, or on a plate. Fill with fruit salad and top with some whipped cream.
  • Combine the water, sugar, lemon grass, ginger, and lemon juice and zest in large saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and let cool.
  • Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a clean container and reserve for the daiquiris. (Infusion will keep for 2 weeks, refrigerated and also may be used to flavor dressings or drizzle over fresh fruit.)

Categories     side-dish

Time 3h57m

Yield 2 quarts of potato salad, or about 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

14 small boiling potatoes, such as red bliss, about 2 1/2 pounds, scrubbed well
6 slices crisp cooked bacon, crumbled
6 hard-boiled eggs, roughly chopped
1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
1/3 cup finely chopped celery
1 cup ranch dressing
2 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan and add enough water to cover by 1-inch. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are just tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain, cool, then cut the potatoes into halves.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine potatoes with all remaining ingredients and gently toss to combine. Refrigerate the salad several hours before serving to allow flavors to blend.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the taste of your salad. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a slightly sweet smell.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like basil, oregano, and parsley add a burst of flavor to the salad. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use about half the amount.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little dressing goes a long way. The goal is to enhance the flavor of the tomatoes and herbs, not overpower them.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Wedge salads are best enjoyed fresh. The tomatoes will start to wilt and lose their flavor if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Emeril's wedge salad is a classic summer dish that is both refreshing and flavorful. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this salad is a great option for busy weeknights or casual gatherings. Whether you serve it as a side dish or a main course, this salad is sure to be a hit.
