Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 6-ounce packages baked tofu
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon mustard powder
2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons pickled mushrooms (optional)
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

REUBEN SALAD

Provided by Bruce Weinstein

Categories     Salad     Cheese     Leafy Green     Vegetable     Side     Picnic     Lunch     Meat     Swiss Cheese     Cabbage     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup rye berries
1 large head green cabbage (about 2 pounds)
2 tablespoons salt
1/2 pound thick-cut deli pastrami, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/2 pound thick-cut Swiss cheese, diced to match the pastrami
6 tablespoons mayonnaise (regular, low-fat, light, or fat-free)
2 tablespoons pickle relish
1 tablespoon ketchup
3 tablespoons cider vinegar

Steps:

  • 1. Soak the rye berries in a big bowl of cool water for at least 8 and up to 16 hours. Drain the rye berries in a fine-mesh sieve or small-holed colander set in the sink. Pour the rye berries into a large saucepan, cover with water by several inches, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until tender, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Drain again in that sieve or colander, then run under cool water to stop the cooking. Drain thoroughly.
  • 2. Slice the cabbage head in half. Cut out the thick, pyramidal core at the base of each half. Set the halves cut side down on the cutting board; make thin slices parallel to the core's former point up in the heart of the cabbage. Separate the shreds from each other and toss them in a large bowl with the salt. Set aside at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • 3. Rinse the cabbage to get rid of the excess salt, then squeeze it by handfuls to remove any excess water. Dump these handfuls into a large serving bowl as you go. Pour in the cooked rye berries, diced pastrami, and cheese. Toss well.
  • 4. Whisk the mayonnaise, pickle relish, and ketchup in a small bowl; whisk in the vinegar. Pour this dressing onto the salad and toss it up.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of greens: Arugula, spinach, kale, and romaine lettuce are all great options for a Reuben salad. Mix and match to create a salad that's both flavorful and nutritious.
  • Don't skimp on the dressing: The dressing is what makes a Reuben salad so delicious, so be sure to use a good quality Thousand Island dressing. You can make your own or use a store-bought variety.
  • Add some crunch: Croutons, chopped nuts, or crispy bacon are all great ways to add some crunch to your salad. This will help to balance out the soft textures of the greens and dressing.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your salad will taste. If possible, use organic vegetables and herbs.
  • Make it a meal: Add some grilled chicken, salmon, or tofu to your salad to make it a complete meal. This will help to keep you feeling full and satisfied.

Conclusion:

Reuben salad is a delicious and easy-to-make salad that's perfect for lunch or dinner. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy salad recipe, give Reuben salad a try. You won't be disappointed.
