Clinkerdagger Salad Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Hit up a cast iron skillet or evenly heated frying pan. Add the two tablespoons of oil and put in onion pieces. Saute these for two minutes.
• 2. Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook for two minutes. Saute for two minutes.
• 3. Add the zucchini pieces and saute for two minutes.
• 4. Add the tomatoes and saute for the last two minutes. If adding minced clove of garlic add it now in these last two minutes. I sometimes add fresh parsley bits and these would go in these last two minutes as well. Plate and serve or put large server spoon in baking dish is serving buffet style.
• 5. OPTIONAL RECIPE: This is a great side dish. To make into an entree add to some marinara sauce and put over cooked ziti, top with parmesan cheese and bake at 350 for 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Blend together mayonnaise, sour cream, white pepper and salt. Combine snow peas, baby peas, water chestnuts, bacon and red onions with dressing until ingredients are well coated.
• Refrigerate at least 24 hours before serving. Stir twice each day to redistribute dressing.
• Note: Peas must be naturally thawed. Slow thawing under refrigeration is best. Room temperature is acceptable, but do not place in water. Place the thawed peas on paper-towel lined pans and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes to purge the remaining excess moisture from the peas. If peas are not thoroughly thawed or have been thawed in water and not properly drained, they will dilute the dressing.
