ROASTED POTATO AND GARLIC SALAD



Roasted Potato and Garlic Salad image

This is not your traditional potato salad recipe, but it is sooooo good! It has such delicious, robust flavors and has always been a huge hit at our summer barbeques.

Provided by Holly

Categories     Salad     Potato Salad Recipes     Red Potato Salad Recipes

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 red potatoes - unpeeled, scrubbed and cubed
2 red bell peppers
2 medium heads garlic
½ cup olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
⅓ cup balsamic vinegar
⅓ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place 1/2 cup of olive oil in a large bowl. Toss the cubed potatoes in the oil until coated, and then spread them evenly on a baking sheet.
  • Pass the red peppers through the bowl of oil, making sure they are evenly coated. Place on a separate baking sheet.
  • Cut about 1/2 inch off the tops of the garlic and drizzle with the remaining oil from the bowl. Place on the baking sheet with the red peppers. Sprinkle the potatoes, peppers and garlic with salt and pepper, and then place both sheets in the oven for about 20 minutes.
  • Check the potatoes: they should be soft, brown and crispy. If not, return them to the oven for an additional 10 minutes or until they are done. The peppers and garlic will take longer, and are done when the skins on the peppers are black and garlic is dark brown (no more than 40 minutes total).
  • Once everything has been roasted, place the potatoes in a large bowl and seal the peppers in a plastic bag to let them steam for 10 minutes. (This will loosen their skins.)
  • Take the peppers out of the bag, remove their skins and seeds and chop them up. Add to the bowl with the potatoes and stir to mix.
  • Turn the garlic heads upside down and squeeze the softened garlic past into a separate, small bowl. Mix in the balsamic vinegar, 1/3 cup olive oil and oregano until smooth. Pour the dressing onto the potatoes and peppers and toss to coat. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Best when served warm or at room temperature. To prepare in advance for an occasion, refrigerate and then reheat in the microwave just until warmed through.

CUCUMBER SALAD WITH SOY, GINGER AND GARLIC



Cucumber Salad With Soy, Ginger and Garlic image

The trick to any sliced cucumber salad is to slice the cucumbers as thin as you can and to purge them by salting them before making the salad so the dressing doesn't get watered down by the cucumber juice.

1 bunch scallions, white and light green parts, very thinly sliced

SEARED SEA SCALLOPS WITH SAUTEED WILD MUSHROOMS, FRESH HERB SALAD, AND ROASTED GARLIC BEURRE BLANC



Seared Sea Scallops with Sauteed Wild Mushrooms, Fresh Herb Salad, and Roasted Garlic Beurre Blanc image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

4 shallots, finely diced
2 lemons, juiced
4 cups white wine, preferably Muscadet
4 fresh thyme sprigs
6 peppercorns
2 bay leaves
8 ounces roasted garlic
4 ounces heavy cream
32 ounces butter, cubed and cold
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Honey, optional
1/2 cup canola oil
24 ounces mixed mushrooms
4 tablespoons minced garlic
4 tablespoons minced shallots
4 tablespoons chopped mixed fresh herbs (parsley, tarragon, chives, basil)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 jumbo sea scallops
1 cup canola oil, divided
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Beurre Blanc: Combine the shallots, lemon juice, wine, thyme, peppercorns, bay leaves, and roasted garlic in a small sauce pot. Bring to a boil and reduce until almost dry, leaving about 1/8 cup. Reduce heat to low and add the cream. Begin adding the butter, 1 cube at a time, whisking continuously. As each cube incorporates into the sauce, add another until all butter has been added. Strain through a fine mesh strainer. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. If you feel that the sauce is too acidic, add a bit of honey to balance the flavor. Be sure to use only a small amount of honey so as not to make the sauce taste too sweet. Cover and keep warm until ready to serve.
  • Mushrooms: Place a saute pan over high heat and add enough canola oil to just cover the bottom of the pan. Allow the pan to preheat until you just begin to see light wisps of smoke coming from the pan. Add the mushrooms and begin to saute until the mushrooms are cooked halfway. Add the garlic and shallots to the pan and continue to saute, keeping the mushrooms moving at all times. When the mushrooms are just cooked through add the fresh herbs to the pan and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Taste the mushrooms and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. Cover and keep warm while you saute the scallops.
  • Scallops: In a bowl, toss the sea scallops lightly in 1/2 cup canola oil. Season each scallop evenly on both sides with salt and pepper. Put a saute pan that is large enough to hold the scallops in 1 layer without them touching over high heat. Add enough canola oil to just cover the bottom of the pan. Allow the pan to preheat until you begin to see light wisps of smoke coming from the oil. Add the scallops to the pan carefully and allow them to get a deep golden brown color. Turn the scallops and allow the second side to get the same golden brown color. If you want the scallops to be more cooked, place the scallops in a preheated 350 degree F oven until they reach the desired doneness. Serve with mushrooms and drizzle with buerre blanc sauce.

FRISEE SALAD WITH ROASTED GARLIC DRESSING



Frisee Salad with Roasted Garlic Dressing image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 cloves garlic, roasted and peeled
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 pound frisee, washed, dried and torn into bite-sized pieces
1/4 cup Roasted Garlic Vinaigrette
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 plum tomatoes, quartered
Parmigiano-Reggiano, thinly shaved
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
Chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • For the vinaigrette:
  • Combine the garlic, vinegar, mustard, honey, lime juice and salt and pepper, to taste, in a blender and blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the oil until emulsified.
  • For the salad:
  • Place the frisee in a large bowl, add 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette, season with salt and pepper, to taste and toss to coat. Put the tomatoes in a bowl, add a few tablespoons of the dressing, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and toss to coat.
  • Divide the frisee among 4 to 6 large plates, arrange 3 of the tomato quarters around the perimeter of each plate. Garnish with shaved cheese and chopped cilantro. Drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh garlic: Use firm, plump garlic bulbs with no signs of sprouting or bruising. Fresh garlic will have a stronger flavor and aroma.
  • Use a variety of greens: Don't limit yourself to just one type of greens. Try using a mix of lettuces, spinach, arugula, kale, and other leafy greens to add variety to your salad.
  • Add some crunch: To add a bit of crunch to your salad, consider adding some chopped nuts, seeds, or crispy vegetables, such as carrots, celery, or bell peppers.
  • Use a light dressing: A heavy dressing can overwhelm the delicate flavors of garlic and greens. Opt for a light vinaigrette or a simple lemon-olive oil dressing instead.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little dressing goes a long way. Toss the salad lightly with just enough dressing to coat the leaves.
  • Serve immediately: Garlic salad is best when served immediately after it's made. The longer it sits, the more the garlic flavor will mellow.

Conclusion:

Garlic salad is a simple but delicious way to enjoy the fresh flavors of garlic and greens. With its bright, tangy flavor and crunchy texture, it's a perfect side dish for any meal. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner or a refreshing summer salad, garlic salad is a great option. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful salad, give garlic salad a try!
