Cauliflower and Spiced Gouda Salad
May 11, 2010
Dried Calimyrna figs are golden, subtly sweet and a good source of fibre, but any dried fig will work. Wheat germ naturally contains fat that can go rancid if left at room temperature for long periods, so it's best stored in an airtight container in the freezer.
I created this recipe about a year ago and has since become a family favourite. My inspiration for this lasagne came after visiting a local farmers market in August, when all the produce was fresh, in season, and unbelievably delicious! When the sauce is made using fresh tomatoes, there is no better way to showcase fresh Ontario produce. This dish makes a LOT, so is perfect for serving when company is over, or for lots of leftovers!
Atlantic (or cold-water) shrimp are prized for their tenderness and sweet taste. And they're a sustainable seafood option, too. These tiny shrimp are divine on their own, but in this simple salad they're even more delicious.
This classic grilled sandwich gets an updated edge with tender pork and tangy chili sauce. If Jarlsberg is unavailable, substitute another stretchy-when-melted cheese, such as Swiss.
Skip the usual cold cuts on this dinner salad in favour of ultra-delicious braised pork. The creamy, tangy dressing cuts the richness of the meat and is nice on plain green salads, too. Feel free to add or substitute any vegetables you have in your fridge – a chef's salad is a great way to clean out the crisper.
You can decrease the hot pepper flakes to 1 tsp (5 mL) in this hot and lemony Portuguese-inspired chicken if desired. The garlic imparts a mellow sweetness. Serve with rice and zucchini.
