Asian Chopped Salad
This salad makes a wonderful side dish to any Asian inspired recipe but would also make a fabulous entre salad with the addition of teriyaki glazed salmon or chicken! Besides the gorgeous color making you feel good, you will love the fact that this salad can be pulled together in under 10 minutes from start to finish! Our “twist” is to create a delicious vinaigrette featuring our Gourmet Toasted Sesame Oil and Honey Ginger Balsamic Vinegar. You’ll love the deep, rich sesame flavor paired with the spicy, sweet ginger!!
Apple Balsamic Slaw
Traditional coleslaw recipes generally are made with mayonnaise, sugar, and distilled vinegar. Our “twist” is to skip the mayo and instead make a creamy vinegar-based dressing using our Gravenstein Apple White Balsamic Vinegar, Whole Fruit Eureka Lemon EVOO, and Dijon mustard. The result is a tangy, sweet apple vinaigrette that is not only perfect for this apple slaw recipe but great on just about any salad! Our other “twist” on the recipe is to add thinly sliced apples to the cabbage mixture for an extra sweet crunch. Try our Apple Balsamic Slaw served alongside seared pork chops, grilled burgers, pulled chicken or as a main dish salad with grilled salmon.
A Twist on Tuna Salad
Often times tuna salad is loaded with an absurd amount of mayonnaise to keep it from tasting dry. Our “twist” this week is to toss out the mayonnaise and replace it with a heart-healthy vinaigrette made with our Sicilian Lemon Balsamic Vinegar and Milanese Gremolata EVOO. This combination is absolutely perfect for a tuna salad recipe . . . citrusy, slightly sweet and with a hint of savory parsley! We kicked the salad up a notch by also adding some unique flavors and textures to the tuna. The chopped olives provide a salty twist, the red pepper provides a sweet twist, and the celery provides a crunchy twist. Combine all the ingredients with the prepared vinaigrette and we are pretty confident you’ll toss out that mayo in your refrigerator!
A Twist on Chicken Salad
With the wedding season right around the corner we thought it would be appropriate to highlight our version of the ever-popular wedding shower salad . . . chicken salad! A Twist on Chicken Salad, features our Aged Grapefruit Balsamic Vinegar and Herbs de Provence EVOO.
