Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 new potatoes
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 French style green beans, fresh
1/4 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon chives, finely chopped
salt and pepper (optional)
6 jumbo pasta shells, cooked al-dente
1 hard-boiled egg, sliced
1/8 cup sweet red pepper
1 tablespoon mild cheddar cheese, shredded
1 carrot, cut into long thin sticks
3 leaves lettuce, wavy

Steps:

  • Peel potatoes and cut into 1/2" cubes. Add to boiling salted water and cook for 5 minutes. Potatoes should be cooked but still firm. Drain, rinse in cold water and allow to cool.
  • Steam or boil beans for 3 minutes, or until just cooked but still firm. Rinse in cold water and drain.
  • Mix together yogurt, chives plus the salt and pepper if using. Pour onto the potatoes and toss gently. You can also add the boiled egg scraps if you wish. Chill for 30 minute.
  • Gently fill the pasta shells with the potato mixture, mounding slightly. Tap on the counter to flatten the bottom so that the 'boats' will sit firmly on a plate.
  • Now to decorate:.
  • Cut each egg slice in half to form a half moon. Place one piece at the back of the boat, on top of the potato mixture.
  • Slice beans lengthwise into two or three strips then cut into 1-1/2" pieces. Use the tip of a sharp knife to bore three holes along each side . Insert the bean strip. These will form the oars. (think Viking Ship).
  • Cut the red pepper into small squares and place them on their edges, along both sides of the shell.
  • Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the potato mixture.
  • Use a long carrot stick as the mast. Weave it through the edge of the lettuce leaf, which will become the sail. Insert into the bed of potato salad.
  • Chill until ready to serve.

PARTY SALAD BOATS



Party Salad Boats image

Perfect for a buffet party because it turns salad into a finger food! If the onions aren't mild enough, saute them in olive oil first.

Provided by puppitypup

Categories     Potluck

Time 2h

Yield 24 boats, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
1 pinch kosher salt
2 pinches fresh ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
2 1/2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
1/4 mild red onion, sliced thinly
1 large head green leaf lettuce
1 cup chopped tomato
1/4 lb thinly sliced pepperoni
2 (4 ounce) cans sliced olives
1/2 lb queso ranchero or 1/2 lb feta
garlic salt
1 (12 ounce) package jumbo pasta shells
1 tablespoon kosher salt
4 quarts water

Steps:

  • Assemble the salad dressing an hour ahead, so the onion and salad dressing have time to blend but the onion is still crunchy.
  • Bring the water to a boil with the salt. Add the pasta and cook for 12 minutes. Drain immediately and cool completely.
  • Chop the romaine, tomatoes and pepperoni. Drain and add the olives. Crumble the cheese over the salad.
  • Toss the salad dressing and salad. The dressing will be clumpy. Add the dressing a little at a time, being careful to not add too much. Add garlic salt to taste.
  • (I usually spoon out the onions with a large non-slotted spoon. I use the dressing that comes along with the onions, leaving any excess dressing for another day.).
  • Fill the pasta shells.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Red Potatoes or Yukon Gold Potatoes, hold their shape well and won't become too mushy when boiled. Choose small, smooth potatoes of uniform size for even cooking.
  • Boil the potatoes properly: Pierce the potatoes with a fork before boiling to allow the heat to penetrate evenly. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the potatoes, and boil for 10-12 minutes or until tender. Drain the potatoes and let them cool.
  • Use a variety of toppings: The possibilities are endless when it comes to toppings for potato salad boats. Try using chopped vegetables like celery, carrots, and red onion, as well as cooked bacon, shredded chicken, or hard-boiled eggs. You can also add a variety of sauces and dressings, such as mayonnaise, sour cream, or vinaigrette.
  • Make it kid-friendly: Add some fun and color to your potato salad boats to make them more appealing to kids. Try using different colored potatoes, or adding some colorful vegetables or fruits to the salad. You can also use cookie cutters to cut the potatoes into fun shapes.
  • Serve immediately: Potato salad boats are best served immediately, while the potatoes are still warm and the toppings are fresh. If you need to make them ahead of time, store the potatoes and toppings separately in the refrigerator and assemble the boats just before serving.

Conclusion:

Potato salad boats are a fun and easy way to serve a classic summer dish. They are perfect for picnics, potlucks, or backyard barbecues. With a variety of toppings and options to choose from, you can easily customize them to suit your own taste.
