LOADED CHICKEN OR TUNA SALAD WITH GREEK YOGURT GARLIC RANCH "MAYO" RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Make the Salad Combine the first 7 ingredients in a large bowl. Mix in as much of the Greek Yogurt ranch mayo as you desire. The Secret - Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (I refrigerate it overnight) before serving to allow the flavors of the chicken salad and yogurt ranch to really blend or shall I say 'sing'? Because it really does sing! You'd be amazed at the difference it makes, not unlike beef stew eaten the day after it's cooked. Season it with extra salt and pepper after letting it chill, if need be. Serve as sandwiches, slightly mashing an avocado on top or spreading the avocado on one or both slices of bread, then layering boston or butter lettuce and tomato, if desired, or roll into whole wheat flour tortilla wraps or flatbread. Keep it low-carb and gluten-free by serving as is on a salad plate or spooned into a ripe avocado half. Make The Greek Yogurt Garlic Ranch: Place Greek yogurt in a strainer lined with cheesecloth (or a paper towel) over a bowl. Cover the strainer and allow excess liquid to drain for about 1 to 2 hours. You'll be replacing the liquid with buttermilk to make it 'ranch'. (While it's draining, start roasting the peppers and prepping the rest of the vegetables for the salad). If you're using all mayonnaise, obviously you can skip the above step. In a medium bowl, stir together strained Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, parsley, chives, dill, garlic paste,, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir in buttermilk. Add more or less buttermilk for desired taste and consistency. I like it thick, like, well..mayo. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Wrap and refrigerate for several hours before adding it to salad, if you have the time. Even more flavor! Notes: *Double or add another half of the Garlic Ranch recipe for more 'mayo' ** You can usually find buttermilk powder in the baking or dried milk aisle in supermarkets. If not, you can order it online.

CRUDITE THAT'S NOT PASSE WITH GREEK YOGURT RANCH AND BLOODY MARY DIP

Steps:

• For the yogurt ranch: Combine ingredients in a bowl, then stir and adjust seasonings. Chill until ready to serve.
• For the bloody Mary dip: Combine ingredients in a bowl, then stir and adjust seasonings. Chill until ready to serve.
• For the crudite: For carrots or conical root vegetables, peel and cut in half across. For thinner end, quarter the vegetable into 4 sticks. For the larger end, slice into planks, then stack a few planks and slice into sticks. Another technique is to slice large carrots into thin planks on a heavy angle or a long bias, then slice the thin ovals into sticks. For large parsnips, the center may be woody and tough. Quarter the top of the parsnip, cut into the core on an angle and remove, then slice into sticks.
• For green beans, trim stem ends.
• For cruciferous vegetables, such as broccolini, broccoli and cauliflower, trim and cut florets into equal portions. For very woody or fat stems of broccoli use a vegetable peeler to trim.
• For asparagus or white asparagus, hold a piece at each end and snap; use resulting size as a guide to trim woody stems from the rest of the bundle. Ends may be saved to puree for soup. For very large or woody asparagus spears, trim the woody ends with a vegetable peeler.
• For these vegetables, bring 3 to 4 inches of water to low rolling boil and season with salt. Place a large bowl filled with ice and water nearby. Add vegetables to water, cook 90 seconds to 2 minutes, then transfer with a spider to ice bath and drain on kitchen towels.
• Cut celery ribs into 4- to 5-inch lengths including the leafy tops, then cut into even thin sticks.
• For scallions, trim roots and tough ends of dark greens.
• For cucumber, cut into 4- to 5-inch lengths, then quarter and remove watery center by cutting into cucumber on an angle (this is not necessary for Persian cucumbers). Cut into even sticks.
• For peppers, slice off tops, then bottoms with a paring knife, then stand a pepper upright and cut down the side of the pepper to open it up. Lay flat, skin-side down, on a cutting board, and trim any white ribs out of the center, then slice into strips. I have a slightly different style to offer as well: Halve, scoop the guts out with your hand into a garbage bowl and trim edges, then slice sticks lengthwise from inside of pepper working out so you do not dull your knife.
• Small radishes may be served whole, large, or quartered. Watermelon radishes can be cut into stalks, julienned-see jicama. Or, trim one side and thinly slice into disc-shaped chips.
• For round vegetables such as jicama, trim top and bottom as if peeling a melon. Trim skin in strips from top to bottom with a utility knife or chef's knife. Cut vegetable into planks, then slice planks into even sticks.
• At or near the center of a large cutting board or a serving platter place the chilled dips, then arrange the variety of vegetables in a colorful pattern around the bowls and arrange the shrimp nearest the Bloody Mary Dip. Serve the saltines away from any dampness to keep them crisp.

YOGURT RANCH DRESSING MARINATED CHICKEN LEGS AND TENDERS

Steps:

• Dressing: Combine the yogurt and milk in a medium bowl. Add all of the remaining ingredients and stir to incorporate.
• Wash and dry the chicken pieces and coat them in the dressing.
• Heat a couple of inches of frying oil in a large Dutch oven over medium to medium-high heat. The oil is ready when rapid bubbles surround the handle of a wooden spoon when submerged in the oil.
• Put the flour in large double-bagged paper sack and add the mustard, poultry seasoning or thyme, paprika, turmeric and cayenne. Add the chicken tenders and shake to coat them in the flour. Using tongs add the chicken to the hot oil. Tenders will fry in 7 to 8 minutes time while you bread the 6 drummers. Remove the tenders to a cooling rack and add the drummers, they will take about 12 minutes for the juices to run clear. Remove the drummers to the cooling rack and season all of the chicken with salt while still hot.
• Arrange the chicken on a serving platter and serve it at room temperature or cold with hot sauce and honey for topping. Pickles, celery, carrot sticks and salted radishes make crunchy accompaniments.

SPICY BAKED SWEET POTATO FRIES WITH COOL GREEK YOGURT RANCH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Put sweet potatoes into a large bowl and sprinkle the cornstarch over the top. Toss with your clean hands until all of the fries are coated. Drizzle with olive oil and toss again. Add maple syrup or brown sugar, chili powder, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and salt. Toss until all of the fries are coated.
• Lay fries on a baking sheet, making sure there is a little space around each fry - don't crowd or pile them! Depending on the size of your baking sheet, you may need to use two (I do).
• Place in oven and bake until golden brown and many are crisp, about 25 minutes, turning carefully at right around the 15 minute mark. Remove fries from oven and let cool a bit.
• While the fries are baking, make your ranch dip. In a small bowl, stir together all of the dip ingredients. Taste and add more salt and pepper if desired.
• Add more salt to the fries if you like. Serve warm with the ranch dip.
