Curly Cue Salad Food

CURLY CARROT SALAD

Steps:

• Peel carrots, and cut them into 3-inch lengths. Using a mandoline or sturdy vegetable peeler, slice carrots into thin, translucent strips. Place strips in ice-water bath, and let stand until curly, about 20 minutes. Transfer carrots to a paper towel; blot dry.
• Discard any bruised romaine leaves, and slice head into 1/4-inch-wide pieces.
• Combine carrot strips, romaine, half of the cheese, dill, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Drizzle lemon juice and olive oil over the salad, and toss to combine.
• Divide among four serving plates. Top with remaining feta cheese.

CURRIED CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the chicken breasts on a sheet pan and rub the skin with olive oil. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is just cooked. Set aside until cool enough to handle. Remove the meat from the bones, discard the skin, and dice the chicken into large bite-size pieces.
• For the dressing, combine the mayonnaise, wine, chutney, curry powder, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process until smooth.
• Combine the chicken with enough dressing to moisten well. Add the celery, scallions, and raisins, and mix well. Refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to blend. Add the cashews and serve at room temperature.

CURLY ENDIVE SALAD

Steps:

• In a large salad bowl, toss together both endives and the onion. Sprinkle with the vinegar, oil and salt and toss again. If a little more oil or vinegar is needed, do so in small increments and taste as you go. The salad should be well seasoned and dressed but not soggy.
• Voila!
