SARASOTA'S HAM AND SWISS CHEESE SALAD



Sarasota's Ham and Swiss Cheese Salad image

This is sort of a "NO-measurements" salad. Ham, cheese, olives, onion and lettuce. I like more olives where others may like more cheese or ham. This just reminds me of a ham and cheese sandwich I had back in MI many years ago. Thick slices, crisp lettuce and a creamy mustard sauce, Recipe #413903.

Categories     < 15 Mins

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 Salads, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 cups lettuce (I use a mix of romaine hearts and iceberg lettuce)
1 slice baked ham (1/4-inch thick and cut in thin julienne strips)
1 -2 slice swiss cheese (1/4-inch thick and cut in thin julienne strips)
1 cup green olives with pimiento (more or less according to taste)
1 1/2 cups durkee fried onions (more or less according to taste, Now if you can't find them, 1 medium onion thin sliced will work ju)
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Salad -- Just rough chop the lettuce, add the ham, swiss cheese, whole olives and Durkee onions (more or less depending on what you like. I save some for the top as well as a garnish. Now if you can't find the Durkee fried onions, just use a regular white onion. I just like the crunch the Durkee onions gives the salad. I like to lightly season with salt and pepper and then drizzle your favorite dressing over the top and toss well. I like to serve it with Recipe #413903. The creamy mustard dressing goes perfect with this. You can also use a ranch dressing or your favorite vinaigrette.
  • It is a simple classic recipe, but I absolutely love it. And feel free to add more or less ingredients as needed. ENJOY!

SARASOTA'S SIMPLE SWISS BACON & ONION PIE



Sarasota's Simple Swiss Bacon & Onion Pie image

I love quiche and this is just quick version with similar tastes but half the work. Ten (10) minutes to put together and 30 minutes in the oven. Serve with a side salad, fruit and your favorite vegetable and you have a great easy dinner. Fresh tomato slices or roasted grape tomatoes happen to be my favorite with this. You could mix this up a bit and use your favorite fillings as well; sun dried tomatoes, mozzarella, broccoli or ham, etc. This is just my favorite combination.

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 40m

Yield 6-8 Slices, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2/3 lb bacon, diced and sauteed until crisp
2 cups grated swiss cheese
4 tablespoons grated onions
1 cup buttermilk baking mix (Bisquick, Jiffy or similar)
2 cups milk
4 eggs (I used large eggs)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper

Steps:

  • Bacon -- In a small sauce pan, slowly render the bacon until golden brown and crisp. Remove to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain.
  • Layer 1 -- In a small bowl, add the bacon, cheese and the grated onion. And this is key - GRATE the onion over the bowl so you get all the juice too. You want the juice from the onion.
  • Add the bacon, cheese and onion into a a 9 or 10" deep pie pan, sprayed with Pam or any non-stick spray.
  • Egg Mixture -- In a medium size bowl, add the milk baking mix, eggs, salt, pepper, thyme and parsley. Mix well to combine and then pour on top of the bacon, cheese and onion mixture.
  • Bake -- 400 degrees middle shelf for 30 minutes until set.
  • Serve -- Slice and enjoy! I love to serve this with fresh tomato slices or roasted grape tomatoes.

HAM AND SWISS CREPES WITH CHOPPED SALAD



Ham and Swiss Crepes with Chopped Salad image

Categories     Salad     Side     Ham

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Coarse salt
3 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons brandy (purchase a 2-ounce nip if you don't want a large bottle)
2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
1 pint red cherry tomatoes
1 pint yellow cherry tomatoes
10 fresh basil leaves, chopped
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves (a handful)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (eyeball it)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)
Coarse black pepper
1/2 seedless cucumber, quartered lengthwise and chopped into bite-size pieces
1 bunch of watercress, stemmed and coarsely chopped
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
Vegetable oil, for cooking crepes
2 cups shredded Swiss cheese (from an 8-ounce brick)
1/2 pound thinly sliced Black Forest ham, chopped into ribbons

Steps:

  • For the crepe batter, combine the flour and a pinch of salt in a bowl and make a well in the center. Add the eggs, milk, and brandy to the well and whisk to combine. Stir in the melted butter. Cover the batter and set aside for 20 minutes.
  • While the batter is resting, halve the red and yellow cherry tomatoes and add them to a salad bowl. Add the basil, parsley, balsamic vinegar, EVOO, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat. Add the cucumbers, watercress, and onions.
  • Preheat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat with a drizzle of vegetable oil. Cover the bottom of the skillet with just enough batter to coat, lifting and shaking the skillet to help the batter along. Let the crepe cook and lightly brown on one side, just about 1 minute. Turn the crepe with a rubber spatula, lifting up the edges, then use a toothpick or your finger to flip it over. Once it is flipped, scatter some of the cheese and ham on top. Season with a little salt and pepper, then fold the crepe over and continue to cook until the cheese starts to melt. Transfer the crepe to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat this 7 more times to serve 2 crepes per person.
  • Divide the 8 crepes among 4 serving plates; serve some salad next to the crepes.

HAM AND SWISS SALAD WITH RED CURRANTS

SWISS CHEESE SALAD



Swiss Cheese Salad image

I love salads that can be made ahead of time. This particular salad looks nicer when the lettuce is shredded (taco style). You might also want to "eyeball" how much dressing to add. I typically don't use it all at once, and have enough dressing left over to make one more salad at a later date. It is from Taste of Home magazine.
