DEBBIE'S PEACH PASTA SALAD

Debbie's Peach Pasta Salad image

This is a fantastic salad recipe that I got off a family member. It is always a hit when she makes it and takes it to barbeques and I have made it three or four times and it is just as successful. The dressing is best made the day before if you can as it lets the flavours blend into one another and the taste improves. It stores in the fridge for ages.

Time 38m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup good-quality balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
½ teaspoon minced garlic
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
½ teaspoon salt, divided, or to taste
¼ teaspoon ground white pepper, or to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or more as needed
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon granulated garlic
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound pork tenderloin, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices
3 medium (blank)s fresh peaches - pitted, skinned, and sliced
1 bunch kale, stems removed and discarded
1 cup matchstick-cut carrots
1 cup fresh blueberries

Steps:

Combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced ginger, minced garlic, cayenne, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and white pepper in a pint-sized jar with a lid. Place the lid on the jar and shake the ingredients until well blended. Taste and adjust seasoning, if desired. Place container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Clean grates of an outdoor grill and preheat to medium-high, about 10 minutes, or as the manufacturer recommends.
When grill is ready, grease grates using tongs to hold a paper towel saturated with vegetable oil.
While the grill is heating, combine smoked paprika, granulated garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Sprinkle both sides of pork slices with dry spice mixture and allow to stand at room temperature until the grill is ready.
Place seasoned pork slices on the grill and do not touch for about 2 minutes. Using tongs, flip the slices and continue to grill until grill marks form and the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (62 degrees C), an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the grill and set aside.
Place peach slices across the grate and grill until grill marks form, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Add to the reserved grilled pork slices.
Make a bundle of kale leaves and slice across into 1/8-inch slices. Place sliced kale and carrots in a large mixing bowl. Add grilled pork slices and grilled peaches, and toss with desired amount of dressing (see note).
Arrange salad on plates, and sprinkle 1/4 cup blueberries on each plate.

DEBBIE'S PASTA SALAD - LITTLE BIT OF THIS, LITTLE BIT OF THAT

Debbie's Pasta Salad - Little Bit of This, Little Bit of That image

I wanted to make a pasta salad so I used a little bit of this from different recipes as well as a little bit of that to come up with a recipe that had the ingredients that my family love's - thus this recipe was created and has now become a keeper. My family inhaled this and it is almost gone over night. I just guessed on the serving amount, it makes a lot. Prep time is approximate and does not include refrigeration over night. If I had a green pepper I would have added that as well.
