Looking for a salad recipe - Mare749 - 01-28-2013 Last week someone posted in the dinner thread that they were making a salad and trying to copy one from Costco, I think and it had brussel sprouts in it. I have gone through many pages of dinner threads and cannot find it again. Whoever you are, would you share your recipe? Thanks so much. Re: Looking for a salad recipe - cjs - 01-28-2013 I rmember that, but can't remember either who it was. Something about it caught my eye. Re: Looking for a salad recipe - Trixxee - 01-28-2013 Alina posted this on Thursday. Costco Sweet Kale salad kit: broccoli, Brussels sprouts, green cabbage, kale, chicory, with a poppy seed dressing and dried cranberries and pumpkin seeds. We will probably add some spinach and cucumber and either toasted almonds or pine nuts." Re: Looking for a salad recipe - Mare749 - 01-28-2013 Thank you! That sounded so tasty and something I would like to try. Alina, if you see this, how did the salad turn out? Re: Looking for a salad recipe - Harborwitch - 01-28-2013 It does sound good! Were the kale and chickory shredded??? Re: Looking for a salad recipe - Cubangirl - 01-28-2013 I have not made it exactly as the package, DH doctored a TJ's mix of chard and kale, not sure what else, by adding Brussels sprouts and instead of slicing them in a mandoline, he just put a few in the mini food processor, also added avocado, cranberries, pumpkin seeds to the mix. I had a huge bowl and added a whole ripe sliced d'anjou pear and could not stop eating it. I am having leftover roast chicken and veggies, so won't make it tonight. I'll post when I do, possibly tomorrow. Re: Looking for a salad recipe - Mare749 - 01-29-2013 I will be looking for that, Alina. And, if you make your own dressing, please post that as well. One question I have regarding the brussel sprouts. Are they eaten raw or blanched first. I have never eaten a raw brussel sprout or raw kale for that matter. Re: Looking for a salad recipe - esgunn - 01-29-2013 That raw brussel Sprout salad I posted around Thanksgiving was so good! I will have to keep my eye out for this salad at Costco. Haven't seen it. Re: Looking for a salad recipe - Mare749 - 01-29-2013 Oh, I hope I coped that one, Erin! Going to look right now! Re: Looking for a salad recipe - Cubangirl - 01-30-2013 All the salad ingredients we used are raw except for the nuts and seeds which are toasted. We have been making a lot of salads with raw kale. I really like it. The pieces are small though. Ditto for the chard. The brussells sprouts we treat as the cabbage they are, so no blanching. Steve used a mandoline and a mini fp, I just sliced them super thin with a knife. Some times we've added some sort of the lettuce or baby spinach, but the last had neither. DH made the dressing, so don't know proportions but basically a plain vinaigrette with no mustard, and some Splenda. |
