SPICY WATERMELON SALAD WITH PINEAPPLE AND LIME



Spicy Watermelon Salad With Pineapple and Lime image

Refreshing, sweet and spicy, this salad is the edible equivalent of a crisp beer on a hot summer's day. It pushes the watermelon-feta-mint combination to new heights with a Mexican-inspired flavor profile of lime, jalapeño and cilantro. It's also easy to prepare, requiring little more than a knife, a bowl and a whisk. Enjoy it as soon as it's assembled, as the salty dressing draws the juice out of the fruit fairly quickly and the salad can lose its fresh crunch. A sprinkle of Tajín, a chile-lime Mexican spice blend, is optional, but adds a touch of smoke.

PINEAPPLE SAGE-SCENTED CHALLAH FRENCH TOAST



Pineapple Sage-Scented Challah French Toast image

To most people, the ban of butter in French toast preparation might come as a surprise or even shock. But I'm not most people. I grew up with a father who is 'allergic' to the smell of butter (his other 'allergies' include cilantro and lamb). As such, our French toast, along with any other sauteing endeavors, were prepared using oil. I've had French toast numerous times and wanted try a different approach today. And that is when pineapple sage-scented challah French toast was born. Welcome to the world! I hope you have a long, successful life.

GINGER CHICKEN WITH FRESH PINEAPPLE SAGE



Ginger Chicken With Fresh Pineapple Sage image

From thekitchn.com. Newsflash!: Pineapple sage (Salvia elegans 'Golden Delcious') upstages standard sage! The technique used to cook the chicken is from Joy of Cooking.

Provided by COOKGIRl

Categories     Chicken

Time 30m

Yield 4 chicken breasts

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/3-inch uniform thickness
salt, to taste
cracked black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup flour
grapeseed oil, for frying
butter, for frying
handful of fresh pineapple sage leaf, washed and chopped
2 tablespoons ginger puree (read *Note)
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup chicken broth
1 lb pasta (we like gemelli or fettuccini)
cracked black pepper, to taste
whole pineapple sage leaf

Steps:

  • Preparing the chicken: If you have a little time before cooking dinner, lightly salt and pepper the chicken breasts. It's great if you can do this the night before, but it's not necessary.
  • Mix about a half teaspoon of salt in with the flour along with a little pepper. Dredge both sides of the chicken lightly in the flour. (I used a small fine mesh sieve to evenly and lightly coat the chicken.).
  • Heat a large heavy skillet (with a lid) over medium high heat, with a little grape seed oil and about half a tablespoon of butter. Quickly sear both sides of the chicken breast until just faintly golden; you don't want the insides to cook much at all.
  • Cover tightly and turn the heat down very low. Cook for 10 minutes without lifting the lid. Remove from the heat and let sit for another 10 minutes, still tightly covered.
  • Transfer chicken to warming plate, tented with foil to keep it warm.
  • *Note: to make your own ginger puree, finely grate 1 tablespoon fresh ginger and stir in about 1 tablespoon softened honey (or cane sugar). Please, NO dried ginger.
  • Whisk the ginger puree into the wine.
  • Heat the skillet with the pan juices and fat, scrapping up any fond (brown bits) from the bottom of the pan, and sautè the sage leaves just until wilted.
  • Deglaze the pan with the wine and ginger mixture, letting it bubble until slightly reduced.
  • Add the broth and cook until reduced by half.
  • Meanwhile, cook the pasta in salted boiling water according to package instructions. Drain and toss with the ginger sauce. I saved a little bit of the ginger sauce to pour over the chicken. OR: Place the pasta on the platter, then the chicken and pour all the sauce evenly on top of the mixture.
  • Serve the chicken on top of the pasta. Garnish with a few whole pineapple sage leaves.
  • Serving suggestion: steamed vegetables and/or a tossed salad using seasonal produce. Basmati rice or jasmine rice is another option instead of pasta.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe pineapple: For the best flavor, choose a pineapple that is ripe and fragrant. Look for one that has a golden yellow color and slightly soft to the touch.
  • Use fresh sage: Fresh sage leaves add a lovely earthy flavor to this salad. If you can't find fresh sage, you can substitute dried sage, but use half the amount.
  • Toast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts brings out their nutty flavor and makes them more crunchy. You can toast them in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes.

Conclusion:

Pineapple Sage Salad is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for summer gatherings. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your liking. If you like a sweeter salad, add more pineapple. If you like a more savory salad, add more sage or bacon. And if you like a crunchy salad, add more walnuts or croutons. No matter how you make it, Pineapple Sage Salad is a delicious and healthy salad that will impress your guests.
