Time 1h5m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 ½ cups plain full-fat greek yogurt
¼ cup fresh parsley, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped, plus more for garnish
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons lemon juice
4 cups vegetable oil, for frying
cold water, for soaking
2 cups ice
2 tablespoons lemon juice, divided
3 medium russet potatoes
1 package McCormick® Zesty Spice Blend
½ cup chickpeas, drained and rinses
½ cup cucumber, diced
1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
1 plum tomato, diced
¼ cup red onion, diced
½ cup feta cheese
2 tablespoons fresh dill, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Make the yogurt sauce: In a medium bowl, mix together the yogurt, parsley, dill, garlic, salt, and lemon juice. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use, up to 1 week.
  • In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat 2-3 inches (5-7.5 cm) of vegetable oil over medium-low heat until the temperature reaches 325°F (170°C).
  • Make the fries: Fill a large bowl with cold water, the ice, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
  • Peel the potatoes and slice into ¼-inch (½ cm) thick strips about 3 inches long. Transfer the potato slices to the cold water as you go. Rinse the potatoes under more cold water in the bowl until the water runs clear, rinsing off any excess starch. Add the remaining tablespoon of lemon juice and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with thick paper, such as brown paper grocery bags.
  • Remove the potatoes from the fridge and drain, then dry completely with a clean kitchen towel.
  • Working in batches, cook the potatoes in the hot oil for 6-8 minutes, or until they're soft and light golden in color. Remove the fries from the oil using a wire mesh skimmer and transfer to the prepared baking sheets to drain. Let stand at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
  • Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C).
  • Working in batches, return the fries to the hot oil and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on clean paper-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle generously with the zesty seasoning
  • To assemble, spread a layer of fries on a platter and top with some of the yogurt sauce, the chickpeas, cucumbers, lettuce, tomato, red onion, and feta. Top with more yogurt sauce. Sprinkle with dill.
  • Enjoy!

MY FAVORITE STEAK SALAD (WITH FRENCH FRIES!!!)



My Favorite Steak Salad (With French Fries!!!) image

Sometimes, I just don't want to separately make a meat, a vegetable and a starch. This is an awesome all in one salad that my family and I enjoy often. The salad and the french fries in the salad are inspired by a restaurant called "The Decade" in Pittsburgh, which is sadly no longer in existence. You can really do whatever you want with this recipe - any ingredients - any dressings; I'm just sharing the way that we usually do it. Enjoy!

Time 50m

Yield 4 salads, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

13 ounces lettuce (bagged lettuce of your choice or pick, wash and hand-tear your own)
2 hard-boiled eggs, quartered
1 English cucumber, sliced
2 tomatoes, sliced (or 4 Romas)
1 1/2 lbs New York strip steaks
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 lb frozen french fries (I use Ore-Ida Golden, Crinkle, or Waffle, but use your favorite)
1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt (or you can use regular salt)
1 cup pre-shredded mozzarella cheese
1 1/2 cups croutons
1 (8 ounce) bottle salad dressing (I use Good Seasons, but Ranch or Blue Cheese or your favorite will work well, too, use to taste)
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Using 4 dinner-sized bowls, layer the lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, and eggs.
  • Take your steaks out of the refrigerator, rub them with olive oil and season with the salt and freshly ground pepper. Leave them out for 30 minutes. This relaxes the meat fibers.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees, or whatever the instructions on your french fries call for.
  • At the same time, preheat your grill for about 450 degrees for the steaks.
  • After your oven preheats, put your fries in the oven.
  • At the same time, put your steaks on the grill. Flip them after 6-8 minutes and cook for an additional 6-8 minutes for medium-rare/medium. Your fries will be done or close to done at the same time as the steaks.
  • When done, turn off your oven, season your fries with the seasoned or regular salt. Put the fries on the salads.
  • Slice the steak into bite sized pieces and distribute the pieces over the fries.
  • Sprinkle the salads with the mozzarella cheese and croutons.
  • Pour on the salad dressing in the amount that you desire and toss if you wish.
  • Enjoy this delicious all-in-one meal!
