Great Ways to Make Holiday Home Salads
Mike JerryHoliday home salads are great as appetizers and side dishes. They are also great for last-minute additions to the table. When the holidays approach, we see our kitchens in a whole different light. Not just the place to cook the usual meals for the family, it now becomes the place where you prepare the magnificent holiday feasts. Holiday food that you only cook during the holidays and is meant to lure family from their homes so they can come enjoy time with you. Since these feasts only happen a few times a year, menus are carefully planned. Consider adding a great salad to the table.
As the helter-skelter of the work life is put off in favor of holiday home life, every soul turns into a gourmet. It is time to enjoy family lunches and brunches with lots of savory food and ample time for exercise to stay trim. Salads come as the best appetizers and are integral to a good holiday home meal. Some of these gourmet eye-catchers are listed here.
Simple Holiday Home Appetizers
Some appetizers are simple enough not to require any recipe, for example grated radish and sauce or ketchup to go with seafood. Small sausages with barbecue sauce, honey- mustard sauce, or simply hot sauce.
Party Mix
Party Mix is a quick home holiday salad that you can prepare in minutes by mixing caramel corn with thin pretzels and peanut candies.
Potato Salad
This is a dish with different methods of preparation depending on the variety of ingredients used. If you have little time to spare for the process, just boil the potatoes (unpeeled) and pour a hot mixture of vinegar, mustard, salt, Majoram, pepper, and minced garlic over sliced potatoes. Depending on the weather, serve hot or refrigerated.
Carrot Broccoli Salad
Another easily made home holiday salad is carrot broccoli salad. This requires mixing up of fresh shredded carrot and broccoli flowerets with mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, salt, black pepper, walnuts, and raisins. Chill for a couple of hours in summer or serve as such in winter on lettuce leaves.
Avocado-Tomato Salad
Mix some lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and cilantro in a bowl and stir vigorously to get a uniform mixture. To this, add a mixture of peeled and seeded chopped tomatoes, peeled and seeded chopped avocados, and chopped onions. Refrigerate for a savory holiday home lunch.
Fruit Salads
Fruit salads are best for their vitamins, minerals, and fiber content - an ideal remedy for dyspeptics. Those on low-carb diets should check with a nutritionist since some fruit ingredients might prove a whole meal for diabetics or prone individuals.
Fruit Slaw
A variety of fruit can be used in a standard fruit slaw. The most popular combination is peeled and chopped orange, seedless grapes (red preferably), and strawberries. Cabbage shreds can be added. Mix these with a tablespoon of poppyseed and add slaw dressing. Serve chilled.
Apple Stick Salad
Mix peeled and julienne apples with chopped onion and pickle in a bowl and toss with a mixture of vinegar and white sugar. Chill before serving.
Fruit Hash
Within fifteen minutes, you can make a colorful salad that can also be served as a dessert. To prepare fruit hash, mix together pineapple, cherries, marshmallows, coconut, frozen whipped topping, and cold milk. Refrigerate well to get a sweet, creamy, luring holiday home salad.
