Salad Supremeฎ Seasoning 2007-08-08 11:52:00 This orange-colored spice blend has been perking up salads, pasta, potatoes, hamburgers, and vegetables for years now, but I've never seen a homegrown clone for the stuff. Time to change that. While it's obvious that sesame seeds are a major part of this blend, you may not know that the main ingredient is Romano cheese (in the bottle, it's been dyed orange by the paprika). Be sure to store this one in the refrigerator. You might even want to keep the seasoning in an empty shaker-top spice bottle. And if you're in the mood for some tasty pasta salad, just check out the tidbit below that comes right off the bottle of the original product.2 tablespoons Romano cheese1 1/2 teaspoons sesame seeds1 teaspoon paprika3/4 teaspoon salt1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds1/2 teaspoon celery seeds1/4 teaspoon garlic powder1/4 teaspoon coarse ground black pepperdash cayenne pepper1.

China Coast Salad Dressing 2007-08-08 11:47:00 Here's a cool recipe that clones a favorite from the 30-store Islands chain of restaurants. This California/Arizona chain is known for it's hand-made burger buns, specialty sandwiches and taco platters with names like Shorebird, Pelican,Sandpiper, Baja, Northshore and Island Fish. Some people, though, go to the Islands just for a scrumptious salad that's dressed with this top secret formula. Here's the Top Secret Recipes version of the delicious Asian dressing that's poured over the ChinaCoastSalad
-- it's a huge bowl filled with sliced chicken breast, lettuce, red cabbage, julienned carrots, fried noodles, sesame seeds, mandarin orange wedges and chives.

Italian Salad Dressing Mix 2007-08-08 11:46:00 Here's a clone for the instant dressing mix you buy in the little .7-ounce packets. When added to vinegar, water, and oil, you get one of the best-tasting instant salad dressings around. But what if you can't find the stuff, or it is no longer sold in your area, as I've heard from so many? Or maybe you want to save some money and make a bunch of your own? Just use the recipe below to make as much dry mix as you want, and save it for when you need instant salad satisfaction.I've used McCormick lemon pepper in the recipe here because it contains lemon juice solids that help duplicate the taste of the sodium citrate and citric acid in the real thing.The dry pectin, which can be found near the canning supplies in your supermarket, is used as a thickener, much like thexanthan gum in the original product.RECIPE INGREDIENTS1 teaspoon carrot, grated and finely chopped1 teaspoon red bell pepper, finely minced3/4 teaspoon McCormick lemon pepper1/8 teaspoon dried parsley flakes1 teaspoon salt Read more:Salad

Oriental Chicken Salad 2007-08-08 11:39:00 Applebee's 60-item menu is revised twice a year.That means about 40 percent of the entire menu changes on a regular basis. The other 60 percent are items that are found on menus in all of the Applebee's restaurants, and seldom ever change.One item that has been on the menu for some time now is this OrientalChicken
salad, which is considered one of the restaurant's signature items. The recipe makes one dinner-size salad and can be easily doubled or quadrupled for additional servings. This recipe comes from the third book, "Top Secret Restaurant Recipes,"but the dressing has been improved to more closely match the current dressing served at the restaurant.Oriental Dressing3 tablespoons honey1 1/2 tablespoons rice winevinegar1/4 cup mayonnaise1 teaspoon Grey Poupon Dijon mustard1/8 teaspoon sesame oilSalad

Low-Fat Blackened Chicken Salad 2007-08-08 11:36:00 Applebee's original Blackened ChickenSalad
quickly became a favorite, encouraging this popular full-service chain to create a low-fat version of the delish dish. While most of the fat in the original comes from the tasty honey mustard dressing, this version creates a dressing that tastes just as good, yet has not a single gram of fat. Combine that with fresh lettuce, shredded carrot, a little egg white, non-fat shredded cheese, and a delicious Cajun spice blend which generously coats chicken seared in light butter then grilled, and you have a majorly munchable salad which is incrediblyeasy on the waistline. Who says you need gobs of fat to create a tasty meal?Dressing1/4 cup fat free mayonnaise1/4 cup Grey Poupon Dijon mustard1/4 cup honey1 tablespoon prepared mustard1 tablespoon white vinegar1/8 teaspoon paprikaChicken Marinade1 cup water3 tablespoons lime juice2 tablespoons soy sauce1/2 tablespoon WorcestershireCajun Spice Blend1/2 tablespoon salt1 teaspoon sugar1 teaspoon paprika1 Read more:Chicken Salad
Applebee's Low-Fat Asian Chicken Salad 2007-08-08 11:27:00 As the seasons change so does the menu, at this popular 1064-unit casual restaurant chain. You’ll find this item in the “Low-Fat and Fabulous” column during the summer months where it’s been a favorite since 1997. As with any salad, the waistline violator is the traditionally fat-filled dressing that’s drizzled in gobs over the top of very healthy greens (a tablespoon of dressing is usually around 10-12 grams of fat each). So if we can just figure out a cool way to make the dressing fat-free, we’re well on our way to making huge salad – four of them to be exact – with only 12 grams of fat on the entire plate. Most of those grams come from the chicken breast, while the crunchy chow mein noodles pick up the rest. Just be sure to plan ahead when you make this one. The chicken should marinate for a few hours if you want it to taste like the original. Get ready for some big, meal-size salads.RECIPE INGREDIENTS1 cup teriyaki marinade4 chicken breast filletsFat-Free Asia Read more:Salad
