Recipe Ingredients:

Baked Brown Rice

• 1 1/2 cups brown rice, medium or short grain
• 2 1/2 cups water
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Brown Rice Salad

• 6 slices bacon
• 1/2 cup diced red onion
• 1/2 cup white wine vinegar
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

How To Make Brown Rice Salad?

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F / 190°C.
2. Prepare Rice: Place the rice into an 8-inch (20 cm) square glass baking dish.
3. Boil Water Mixture: In a kettle or saucepan, bring the water, butter, and salt to a boil.
4. Combine and Cover: Pour the boiling water mixture over the rice, stir to combine, and cover tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
5. Bake Rice: Bake on the middle rack for 1 hour.
6. Fluff Rice: After 1 hour, remove the foil and fluff the rice with a fork. Set aside.
7. Cook Bacon: In a 10-inch (25 cm) sauté pan over medium heat, fry the bacon until crisp. Drain, crumble, and set aside, keeping 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the pan.
8. Sauté Onions: Add the red onion to the pan and cook until translucent, about 5-6 minutes.
9. Add Liquid Ingredients: Pour in vinegar, chicken broth, Dijon mustard, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
10. Mix in Bacon and Rice: Return the crumbled bacon to the pan along with the cooked rice.
11. Absorb Liquid: Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is absorbed (7-10 minutes).
12. Add Fresh Dill: Stir in the chopped fresh dill.
13. Cool and Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Recipe Tips:

• Use the Right Rice: Stick to medium or short-grain brown rice for the best texture. Long-grain rice won’t absorb the flavors as well.
• Don’t Skip the Bacon Fat: The reserved bacon fat adds a rich, smoky flavor to the onions and dressing, so don’t substitute it with oil.
• Fluff the Rice Properly: After baking, fluff the rice with a fork gently to separate the grains without smashing them.
• Adjust the Tanginess: If the vinegar taste is too strong, add a splash of olive oil or a pinch of sugar to balance the flavors.
• Serve at the Right Temperature: Let the salad cool slightly before serving to allow the flavors to meld together perfectly.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: First, let the leftover brown rice salad cool to room temperature. Transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days
• Rehet: Reheat the salad in a skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of water or broth to prevent drying out, and stir occasionally until warmed through, about 5-7 minutes.

Keywords:Alton Brown Brown Rice Salad

Recipe Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 pounds small red potatoes
• 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 3/4 cup mayonnaise, homemade, if possible
• 1 teaspoon mustard powder
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1/4 cup diced cornichons
• 1/2 cup diced red onion
• 1/2 cup diced celery
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

How To Make Cold-Fashioned Potato Salad?

1. Prepare Potatoes: Place potatoes into an 8-quart pot, cover with cold water, and set over medium heat.
2. Boil & Simmer: Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce the heat and remove the lid, gently simmering until potatoes are fork-tender (10 to 15 minutes).
3. Cool Potatoes: Drain potatoes and place in an ice bath for 2 to 3 minutes to cool.
4. Peel & Slice: Rub the skin off with a clean tea towel. Slice the potatoes into rounds or large dice and transfer to a zip-top bag.
5. Marinate with Vinegar: Add apple cider vinegar to the bag, toss to coat all potatoes, and refrigerate overnight.
6. Mix Dressing: In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, mustard powder, parsley, tarragon, garlic, cornichons, red onion, and celery until evenly mixed.
7. Combine Salad: Add marinated potatoes to the bowl, toss gently, and season with salt and pepper.
8. Chill Before Serving: Let the salad chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Recipe Tips:

• Cook Potatoes Just Right: Avoid overcooking the potatoes. They should be fork-tender but not falling apart. Start checking them after 10 minutes of simmering.
• Peel While Warm: To easily remove the potato skins, rub them with a clean tea towel while they are still warm from the ice bath. This keeps the potato pieces intact.
• Marinate Overnight: Let the potatoes sit with vinegar in the fridge overnight. This step is crucial for that tangy, deep flavor that sets this salad apart.
• Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh parsley and tarragon give a bright, fresh taste. Avoid dried herbs, as they won’t deliver the same flavor.
• Chill Before Serving: Give the salad at least an hour in the fridge before serving. This not only enhances the flavor but also ensures the salad is perfectly cool and refreshing.

How To Reheat Leftovers?

First, let the leftover potato salad cool to room temperature. Then, transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Keywords:Alton Brown Cold-Fashioned Potato Salad

Recipe Ingredients:

• 1 stalk celery
• 1 medium carrot
• 2 to 3 sprigs fresh thyme
• 2 to 3 sprigs fresh parsley
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 cups dried black beans
• 1/2 medium onion, halved
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus extra to taste
• 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/3 cup lime juice
• 1 medium red onion, minced
• 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more to taste
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

How To Make Black Bean Salad?

1. Prepare the Herb Bundle: Tie the celery, carrot, thyme, parsley, and bay leaf into a bundle using cotton butcher’s twine.
2. Cook the Beans: Place the black beans, herb bundle, and onion into a large pot. Add just enough water to barely cover the beans.
3. Simmer Until Tender: Bring to a simmer, partially cover, and cook until the beans are barely tender, about 1 to 2 hours. After 30 minutes, add the salt. Occasionally check and add water as needed to keep the beans covered.
4. Drain and Discard Herbs: Once the beans are just barely tender, drain them and remove the herb bundle.
5. Mix the Salad: While the beans are still hot, toss them with olive oil, lime juice, red onion, cilantro (coriander), cumin, and chili powder.
6. Chill and Season: Let the salad chill completely, then season with additional salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Recipe Tips:

• Soak the Beans for Faster Cooking : If you want to reduce cooking time, soak the black beans in water overnight. This helps them cook more evenly and prevents them from splitting.
• Salt at the Right Time – Always add salt after the beans have been cooking for at least 30 minutes. Adding it too early can make the beans tough and take longer to cook.
• Use Fresh Lime Juice : Bottled lime juice won’t give the same fresh, zesty flavor. Squeeze fresh limes for the best taste!
• Chill Before Serving : Let the salad chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors blend together and makes the salad taste even better.
• Adjust the Seasoning After Chilling : Cold foods can taste less salty and flavorful. After chilling, taste the salad and adjust the salt, lime juice, and spices as needed.

How To Store Leftovers?

First, let the leftover Black Bean Salad cool to room temperature. Then, transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 4 days. Stir before serving, as the dressing may settle at the bottom.

Description

This easy Pioneer Woman 7-Layer Salad is a quick and nutritious dish perfect for any occasion. With creamy dressing, crispy bacon, and fresh veggies, it’s a crowd-pleaser that can be customized with common ingredients. A simple yet flavorful way to elevate your meal!

Ingredients

For the Salad:

• 2 heads iceberg lettuce, chopped
  
• 8 oz. baby spinach, washed and dried
  
• Salt and pepper, to taste
  
• 8 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  
• 16 oz. bacon, cooked and chopped
  
• 4 tomatoes, chopped
  
• 1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
  
• 8 oz. cheddar cheese, grated
  
• 10 oz. frozen peas, partially thawed
  

For the Dressing:


• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  
• 1/2 cup sour cream
  
• 1 Tbsp. sugar, plus more to taste
  
• Chopped fresh dill, for topping

Instructions

1. Layer the Salad: In a clear glass bowl, start by layering the chopped iceberg lettuce around the perimeter. Fill in the center with more lettuce if needed. Follow this by layering the spinach, chopped eggs, bacon, tomatoes, green onions, and grated cheddar cheese. Finally, top with the partially thawed peas.
   
2. Make the Dressing: In a separate bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, and sugar until well combined. Spread the dressing over the peas, making sure it covers the entire surface and reaches the edges of the bowl.
   
3. Chill the Salad: Cover the salad and refrigerate it for up to 8 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
   
4. Serve: Before serving, sprinkle chopped fresh dill on top and toss gently. Enjoy!

Notes

• Use Fresh Veggies: Make sure to use fresh, crisp iceberg lettuce and spinach for the best texture and flavor.
• Thaw the Peas Properly: Partially thaw the peas before adding them to the salad to avoid a soggy layer.
• Layer in Order: Layer the ingredients from the bottom up, starting with the lettuce to create a strong base and ending with the peas for a pretty top.
• Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the salad for at least 2 hours before serving to let the flavors blend together.
• Add Extra Flavor: Feel free to sprinkle some extra salt and pepper over the salad before serving to enhance the taste.

Ingredients Needed

• 12 slices bacon, chopped
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 head iceberg lettuce, chopped
• 1 pint grape tomatoes, quartered
• 1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

How To Make Chopped Salad Recipe

1. Cook the bacon: Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook the chopped bacon, stirring occasionally, until crispy (about 10 minutes). Once crispy, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and set aside.
2. Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup chopped parsley, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup buttermilk, 2 tablespoons chopped chives, and 1 minced garlic clove until smooth. Season the dressing with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
3. Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine 1 chopped head of iceberg lettuce, 1 pint quartered grape tomatoes, 1 bunch thinly sliced green onions, the cooked bacon, and all but 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese. Toss the salad ingredients with the dressing until everything is well-coated.
4. Top and serve: Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the salad before serving.

Recipe Tips

• Crisp the bacon properly: Make sure to cook the bacon until it’s nice and crispy. This adds a crunchy texture to the salad and prevents it from becoming soggy.
• Use fresh ingredients: Fresh tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and freshly chopped herbs make the salad more flavorful. Don’t skip on using high-quality, fresh ingredients for the best taste.
• Customize the dressing: You can adjust the thickness of the dressing by adding more or less buttermilk. For a creamier texture, use more mayo or sour cream.
• Chill the salad before serving: Let the salad sit in the fridge for 10–15 minutes after tossing it with the dressing. This helps the flavors meld together and makes it even more refreshing.
• Top with extra cheese: Don’t skimp on the shredded cheddar! Adding a generous amount on top gives the salad extra creaminess and flavor.

How To Store Leftovers

Store leftovers chopped salad in a sealed container in the fridge. It will stay good for 2-3 days.

Ingredients Needed

• 1/4 cup walnuts (about 1 oz)
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup plain whole milk yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons light brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• A few dashes of hot sauce (optional)
• 2 cups shredded or chopped cooked turkey
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries
• 1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped
• 1 celery stalk, chopped
• 1/2 firm apple (such as Gala, Fuji, or Honeycrisp), cored and cubed
• 1/2 small red onion, chopped
• Lettuce, bread, or crackers, for serving

How To Make Turkey Salad Recipe

1. Roast the walnuts: Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and spread the walnuts on a baking sheet. Roast for 7 to 9 minutes, until fragrant and lightly golden. Let cool, then coarsely chop.
2. Prepare the dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, yogurt, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and hot sauce (if using).
3. Combine the salad: Add the shredded turkey, dried cranberries, parsley, celery, apple, onion, and chopped walnuts to the dressing. Toss well to combine.

Recipe Tips

• Toast the walnuts: Roasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and gives them a crunchy texture. Don’t skip this step – it adds extra richness to the salad.
• Use a firm apple: Choose apples like Gala, Fuji, or Honeycrisp, as they hold up well in the salad. Softer apples may become mushy and lose their crunch.
• Chill before serving: Let the turkey salad chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving. This helps the flavors meld together for a tastier dish.
• Adjust the dressing to taste: If you prefer a tangier or sweeter salad, feel free to add a little more vinegar or brown sugar. Taste and adjust the dressing to your liking.
• Add a bit of hot sauce: If you like a little spice, don’t forget the hot sauce. Just a few dashes can bring an exciting kick to the flavor without overpowering the salad.
