Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup millet
Kosher salt
1/4 cup dijon mustard
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon mustard powder
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil
8 ounces deli-sliced pepper turkey
2 vine-ripened tomatoes
3 large radishes
1 6-ounce package mixed salad greens
1/2 cup chopped gruyère cheese (about 2 1/2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Toast the millet in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 2 cups water and a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to medium low and cook until the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork, then let cool, uncovered, 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the dressing: Whisk the dijon mustard, vinegar, honey, mustard powder and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a small bowl until smooth. Whisk in the vegetable oil.
  • Chop the turkey, cut the tomatoes into small chunks and thinly slice the radishes. Combine the turkey, tomatoes and radishes in a large bowl. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the dressing, season lightly with salt and pepper and toss. Add the millet and all but 1/4 cup of the remaining dressing and toss again. Add 2 cups salad greens and toss.
  • Divide the remaining greens among plates. Top with the millet mixture and sprinkle with the cheese. Drizzle with the remaining dressing.

TURKEY CHEF SALAD

This is a recipe I received from my Healthy Foods daily email subscription. It's not your typical Chef Salad but it has so many great ingredients you don't even miss the fat. Other than the Dressing I didn't stay true to the measurements, I just used what I thought was appropriate for my tastes and it came out great. I don't think you can really go wrong. The fresh basil gives it great flavor.

CHEF'S SALAD



Chef's Salad image

As a child growing up in England with an American mother, I had a surprise one day after school when I went home to my best friend's house for dinner. Her mother offered me a salad, which I expected to be like one of my mum's-lots of crunchy ingredients tossed together in a huge salad bowl and served with a delicious dressing. What I got was a single wedge of tomato, a lettuce leaf, a chunk of cucumber and some salad dressing poured over. It didn't quite have the wow factor of my mum's compositions. This salad, inspired by hers, is crisp, satisfying and the colors make it look as good as it tastes.

Yield 4 servings

1 1/2 pounds Boston, bibb or green or red leaf lettuce, washed, trimmed, and dried
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 recipe Shallot or Herb Vinaigrette, Ranch, Blue Cheese or Thousand Island Dressing, recipes follow
4 ounces imported Swiss cheese, cut into 2-inch long matchstick pieces

2 hard-cooked eggs, shelled, cut into wedges
1 ripe Hass avocado, diced
16 vine-ripened cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
2 kirby (pickling) cucumbers, sliced
1 cup toasted croutons
1/4 cup white wine vinegar, champagne vinegar, or aged sherry wine vinegar

2 tablespoons finely minced shallots
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup white, red or aged sherry vinegar
2 to 3 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 small clove garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup prepared or homemade mayonnaise
1/4 to 1/3 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons minced flat-leaf parsley leaves
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
1 scallion, trimmed and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup crumbled Maytag or other blue cheese (about 3 ounces), divided
1/2 cup half and half
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
3/4 cup prepared or homemade mayonnaise
1/4 cup bottled chili sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 1/2 tablespoons minced onion
2 teaspoons sweet pickle relish
1/2 hard-cooked large egg, pushed through a sieve or finely chopped
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces and put into a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper and toss with 1/2 cup of the dressing. Divide the lettuce among 4 large individual serving bowls. Arrange the cheese, meats, eggs, and avocado, like the spokes of a wheel, on top of each salad. Scatter the tomatoes, cucumbers and croutons on top. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve and pass the remaining dressing at the table.
  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir in the shallots. Gradually whisk in the oil to make a smooth dressing. Use immediately or store covered, in the refrigerator, for up to a week.
  • Set a medium bowl on a kitchen towel shaped like an "O" (this helps keep the bowl steady while whisking). Whisk together the vinegar, mustard, garlic, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper in the bowl. Slowly drizzle in the oil while whisking continuously until the mixture is combined and blended well. Use right away, or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 3 days. For variety, add your favorite dried or chopped fresh herbs.
  • Mash the garlic and salt to a paste with the side of a chef's knife. In a medium bowl, whisk together the garlic, mayonnaise, 1/4 cup buttermilk, parsley, chives, scallion, vinegar and pepper to taste. If the sauce is very thick, thin the dressing with a couple tablespoons more of the buttermilk. Use immediately or store covered, in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, 1/4 cup blue cheese, half and half, sour cream, lemon juice, Worcestershire, and salt, until smooth. Gently stir in the remaining 1/4 cup blue cheese and season with pepper to taste. Use now or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Make a paste with the garlic and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt by crushing them with the side of a chef's knife. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the garlic, mayonnaise, chili sauce, ketchup, onion, relish and egg until combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Use now or store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
