CELERY BLACK GRAPE AND BLUE CHEESE POTATO SALAD



Celery Black Grape and Blue Cheese Potato Salad image

This combination is genius and works incredibly well if I do say so myself! Every element of the dish complements the next. One of those things I make sometimes and live off it for days! Crunchy big chunks of refreshing celery set in blue cheese dressing with the sweetness of black grapes to offset both. The potatoes are a great foil to this and prevent it from being too rich. A great dish to serve at buffets or pot luck dinners Its a cheeseboard lovers dream and looks colourful and presentable too

O'CHARLEY'S BLACK AND BLUE CAESAR SALAD RECIPE



O'charley's Black and Blue Caesar Salad Recipe image

I have had this before at O'Charley's and find it to be very, very good. A warning though: When cooking the beef for this salad, remember that restaurants have huge exhaust fans, capable of pulling all fumes, and possibly small chefs, out of the kitchen. You should compensate by starting both the stove-hood exhaust and perhaps opening windows before heating the skillet. Or you may want to cook the steak outside ;)

Time 20m

1 ounce shredded parmesan cheese, divided (about 1/4 cup)
1 1/4 cups large croutons, divided

1/4 cup cooked diced bacon, heated

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, sprinkle about half the Parmesan and half the croutons over romaine; add dressing and toss well.
  • Place in a chilled pasta bowl or large soup plate; sprinkle with remaining Parmesan, creating a "snowcap" effect.
  • Add tomato slices on one side; refrigerate.
  • In a very well-ventilated area or outdoors, heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat.
  • Brush one side of sirloin with melted margarine; sprinkle to taste with Cajun seasoning.
  • Place seasoned-side down in skillet. (Caution: There might be a slight flame when meat is placed in skillet.)
  • While first side is cooking, brush second side with melted margarine and sprinkle with additional seasoning.
  • Cook about 2 minutes; turn and cook 2 to 3 minutes more, or to desired degree of doneness.
  • Cut into 1/2-inch slices.
  • Fan sliced steak over salad; top with blue cheese, bacon and remaining croutons.

BLACK AND BLUE LAMB, PISTACHIO AND ARUGULA SALAD



Black and Blue Lamb, Pistachio and Arugula Salad image

Provided by Vic "Vegas" Moea

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 rack of lamb, loin removed from the bone
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 sprig fresh rosemary, leaves chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons granulated garlic
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
10 fresh basil leaves, chopped
1 (5-ounce) container baby arugula
1/2 cup pistachios, chopped
8 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the lamb: Heat a saute pan over high heat until the pan is smoking. Sprinkle the lamb with salt, pepper and rosemary on all sides. Once the pan is hot, add the olive oil and then sear the meat on all sides, rolling the meat around the pan to cook evenly. For medium rare, cook 2 to 3 minutes per side. For more well done, turn the heat down to medium and cook another 2 to 3 minutes per side. Set the meat aside to rest for 5 minutes.
  • In the meantime, for the vinaigrette: Whisk the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, granulated garlic, salt and pepper in a bowl and slowly drizzle in the olive oil to make an emulsion. Make sure to whisk vigorously while pouring in the oil. Finish with the basil, taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
  • For the salad: Toss the arugula, pistachios and blue cheese with 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper. Slice the lamb very thin and top the salad with the sliced lamb.

BLACK AND BLUE SALAD

LOVE this salad!

Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 17

SALAD
3 cup(s) romaine hearts (torn into bite size pieces)
3/4 cup(s) carrot, shredded (matchsticks)
1/2 - cucumber - peeled, seeded, and diced
2 - celery stalks- sliced
DRESSING
2 tablespoon(s) light mayonnaise
1 tablespoon(s) light sour cream
1/2 cup(s) fat-free buttermilk
2/3 cup(s) blue cheese, crumbled
1 small garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon(s) onion powder
1/4 teaspoon(s) truvia (stevia)
- salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
CHICKEN
2 - chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
2 tablespoon(s) cajun seasoning

Steps:

  • Add all of the dressing ingredients to a jar with a lid and shake well to combine. Store in the fridge until you are ready to dress your salads.
  • Rinse chicken breasts and pat dry. Place in between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound out until uniform thickness, about 1/2 inch. Coat breasts with Cajun seasoning- I used Bobby Webb's Cajun spice mix- check out his recipe here on JAP. Spray pan with cooking spray- I like Pompeians 100% Grapeseed Oil spray- it's all natural, low-cal, and has a high smoke point. Heat pan over medium to medium-high heat. Cook breasts about 3-4 minutes each side, or until no longer pink. Transfer to a plate and let them rest for 10 minutes.
  • While the chicken is resting, get your salads assembled. Cut breasts into bite-size pieces, and place on salads. Shake dressing and use a spoon to drizzle over salads. You can garnish with some chopped green onions or chives if you like. Enjoy!
