STRAWBERRY-ARUGULA SALAD IN CRISPY PARMESAN CUPS



Strawberry-Arugula Salad in Crispy Parmesan Cups image

The best part of this salad is the edible bowl it's served in. Parmesan cheese becomes crispy after it's baked and an upside-down muffin pan is the perfect pan for creating the edible cups. If you don't plan to serve the salad right away, leave the salad undressed and the cups unfilled so they don't become soggy.

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Nonstick cooking spray
2 cups freshly shredded Parmesan
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons minced shallot (from 1 large)
1 large clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (5-ounce) package baby arugula
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone mat. Turn a muffin tin upside down and coat the bottoms with nonstick cooking spray. Form 3 (1/3-cup) mounds of Parmesan cheese on the silicone mat and pat out each to a 5-inch circle. Bake until the cheese melts and is browned and bubbly, 5 to 6 minutes. Working with one circle at a time, quickly lift each round of cheese to the muffin tin, gently pressing the edges to create a dome. Repeat the process with the remaining cheese. Set aside to cool.
  • Whisk together the honey, vinegar, shallot and garlic in a small bowl. Gradually add the olive oil and whisk until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Toss together the arugula, strawberries, parsley, green onions and pecans in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat. To serve, place the Parmesan cups onto serving plates and divide the salad evenly among them.

VELMA'S STRAWBERRY CREAM CHEESE SALAD MOLD



Velma's Strawberry Cream Cheese Salad Mold image

This is a variation of other strawberry cream cheese salad recipes, as it uses fewer ingredients, does not call for sour cream, and uses the small size Jello package. This is a wonderful brunch dish, especially when served with something like Recipe #319338. It's often used for showers, too. This recipe was given to me by a friend's mother many years ago. (Cooking time is chilling time.)

EASY STRAWBERRY JELLO SALAD WITH COOL WHIP



Easy Strawberry Jello Salad with Cool Whip image

Provided by Natalie Clark

Categories     Jello Recipes

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 4

one 6 oz box regular (not sugar free) strawberry jello, prepared according to instructions
one 8 oz container of Cool Whip
2 cups or 1 pound fresh strawberries, diced or sliced how you prefer
optional add-ins include whipped cream for topping, strawberry jam at the bottom, or mini marshmallows to mix in

Steps:

  • Boil one cup water on stove top, and mix into bowl with jello powder in mixing bowl. Add in one cup cold water and stir. Chill jello, preferably in a shallow pan, for about 45 minutes or until it is completely cool, just starting to set. Pour the jello into a large mixing bowl. Mix the jello up vigorously, for about one minute. Using an electric mixer is great for this step. But watch out it splashes. This breaks up any jello bits that have started to set, and adds air to the mix. Then fold in the Cool Whip and then strawberries. Mix completely, but be gentle and don't deflate the mix by stirring too aggressively. If you want to add in mini marshmallows, do it now. Add them in about 1/2 cup at a time to make sure you don't overdo it. Transfer to a 9×13 pan for serving, or into individual dishes if you prefer. You can top with whipped cream and sliced strawberries if you prefer. If you want to dress up this dish, spread a spoonful of strawberry jam in the bottom of a glass dessert dish or shallow glass. Then add the salad mix. After the dish has chilled, dollop with some fresh whipped cream and a slice of strawberry.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, fresh strawberries. This will ensure that your salad is flavorful and juicy.
  • Choose a firm, unblemished mold. This will help your salad hold its shape when you unmold it.
  • Chill the mold and the salad ingredients before assembling. This will help the salad set more quickly and cleanly.
  • Gently press the salad mixture into the mold. Don't pack it in too tightly, or it will be difficult to unmold.
  • Chill the salad for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This will give it time to set properly.
  • To unmold the salad, dip the mold briefly in hot water. Then, invert the mold onto a serving plate and gently shake it to release the salad.
  • Garnish the salad with fresh mint or whipped cream before serving.

Conclusion:

Molded strawberry salad is a classic summer dish that is both beautiful and delicious. It's perfect for potlucks, picnics, and other gatherings. With its bright red color and sweet flavor, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
