      {soups-salads-and-salad-dressings} (Labor Day) Italian Pasta Salad

       

      Italian Pasta Salad Recipe
       
      Author: Renae
      Ingredients
      • 16 oz. Rontini Pasta (Or pasta of choice)
      • 2 Hard Boiled Eggs, sliced
      • 3 oz. Salami, diced
      • 1 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
      • Small can of sliced Olives
      • ½ Cup Italian Dressing
      Instructions
      1. Bowl the pasta according to package directions to al dente.
      2. Once the pasta is done drain and rinse with cold water to cool.
      3. Place pasta in a large bowl and add a splash of the Italian dressing to keep the pasta from sticking together as the pasta cools.
      4. Once the pasta is cool, add the eggs, salami, cheese and olives. Mix well.
      5. Pour dressing over top and mix.
      Notes
      * Bacon or pepperoni is a good alternative to salami.
      * Use different cheeses to add different flavors.
      * If eating this pasta as a leftover, you may need to add a bit more dressing the next day.
      * Add cherry tomatoes or chickpeas!

      {soups-salads-and-salad-dressings} (Labor Day) Broccoli Salad Recipe {Easy Side Dish} TNT

       

      I've made this salad and it is WONDERFUL!!!

      Broccoli Salad

      1 Head Broccoli, Chopped
      1 lb. Bacon
      3/4 Cup Raisins
      3/4 Cup Sunflower Seeds
      1 Cup Mayonnaise
      1/2 Cup Sugar
      1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar

      In a larger frying pan, fry the bacon until crisp. Cut the bacon into small pieces- use kitchen shears to make this task easy. Cut broccoli florets into bite size pieces. In a large bowl combine broccoli, bacon, raisins and sunflower seeds.

      In a small bowl combine mayonaise, sugar and vinegar. Mix until combined. Pour sauce over broccoli mixture. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

      Tips

      • If you don't have raisins, try using sliced grapes.
      • Turkey bacon is a leaner option. Or consider cutting pack on the amount of bacon- maybe a 1/2 pound.

      {soups-salads-and-salad-dressings} Pork Ramen Bowls (Japan)

       

      Pork Ramen Bowls

      This recipe originally appeared on the Rachael Ray Show. For more recipes and videos from the show visit RachaelRayShow.com [1].

      Ingredients

      For the Pork and Fortified Stock:

      • 1 2-pound piece pork shoulder/butt, trimmed
      • Salt and pepper
      • 2 tablespoons vegetable, peanut or canola oil
      • A handful dried shitake mushrooms (1 small pouch or packet)
      • 1 inch ginger root, sliced
      • 3 to 4 cloves crushed garlic
      • 2 carrots, quartered
      • 1 large leek, quartered
      • 1 quart chicken stock
      • undefined

      For the Pickled Garnishes:

      • 2 red finger chili peppers, seeded and thinly sliced
      • 2 shallots, root attached, peeled and cut into thin wedges lengthwise
      • 1 can bamboo shoots, drained well
      • 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
      • undefined
      • 4 large eggs
      • 3/4 to 1 pound Ramen noodles
      • 1 bunch spring onions, chopped or thinly sliced
      • 4 cups packed mixed spring greens (optional: mix in some shiso leaves and coriander tops)
      • 2 tablespoons Mirin
      • 1 shot sake or sherry
      • 1/4 cup dark soy or Japanese soy sauce
      • undefined

      Preparation

      Season the pork with salt and pepper. In large Dutch oven [2], heat oil over medium-high heat, 2 turns of the pan [3]. Brown the pork evenly all over. Add dried mushrooms, ginger, garlic, carrots, leek, stock and 1 quart water and bring to boil. Reduce heat to a low simmer, cover and cook pork 2-2 1/2 hours to very tender, skimming occasionally.

      Remove pork and rest, strain the stock and keep warm. Pull pork and cover to keep warm.

      For pickled garnishes, cover the chili peppers, shallots and bamboo shoots with vinegar and let stand 1 hour.

      Cover eggs with water, bring to boil, cover pan [3] and remove from heat. Let stand 10 minutes. Crack shells and let stand in cold water to loosen shells; halve the eggs.

      Boil water and cook ramen 3-5 minutes so there is still a bite left to the noodles. Drain.

      Add Mirin, sake or sherry and soy to broth.

      {soups-salads-and-salad-dressings} (Labor Day) Broccoli and Bacon Salad

       

      Broccoli and Bacon Salad

      • Prep Time: 20 mins
      • Cook Time: 10 mins
      • Total Time: 30 minutes
      • Yield: 6-8 servings
      • Category: salad
      • Method: stovetop
      • Cuisine: American

      INGREDIENTS

      1 large or 2 small heads of broccoli

      1 teaspoon salt

      12 slices bacon, (3/4 of a one pound package)

      ½ cup red onion, sliced into thin small pieces

      ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

      ¼ cup sour cream or crème fraiche (your choice)

      ½ cup mayonnaise (we recommend Hellman's or homemade mayonnaise)

      2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

      ¼ cup sugar


      INSTRUCTIONS

      Cut off the thickest part of the stem of broccoli and discard. Cut the remaining head into small florets. Heat a medium pot with water and bring to a boil, then salt the water.

      Fill a medium to large bowl with ice water. Once the pot of water is boiling, drop the broccoli florets into the boiling water and count 30 seconds. Immediately drain off the water and plunge the broccoli into the ice bath.

      Drain the broccoli and lay out on a large sheet of paper towels. Start rolling the paper towels and broccoli around and around like a jelly roll then squeeze out the water. Repeat a second time until the broccoli is completely dry and drained of all water. Place the broccoli in a large bowl and refrigerate until after the bacon is cooked.

      Cook the bacon until crispy and then crumble. Discard bacon fat (or save for other recipes if you wish).

      Remove the broccoli from the refrigerator and add cooked, crumbled bacon, red onion and cheddar cheese.

      In a small bowl mix the sour cream, mayonnaise, vinegar and sugar.

      Add the mayonnaise mixture to the broccoli mixture, combine and serve.
