Potsticker And Roasted Pepper Salad Food

POTSTICKER SALAD

Steps:

• Fill a large saucepan with 1 inch of water and fit with a steamer basket (or fill a large skillet with 1/2 inch of water). If using a metal steamer basket, spray the bottom with nonstick cookig spray. Bring the water to a boil. Place the potstickers in the basket (or skillet) followed by the carrots, cover, and steam for 4 minutes. Add the snap peas and edamame, cover, and steam until the potstickers are cooked through and the vegetables are tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, red chili paste and sesame oil. Divide the bean sprouts among bowls and top with the potstickers and vegetables. Sprinkle with the scallions, peanuts and cilantro. Serve with the sauce (I topped each bowl with 1-2 T sauce). Serves 4. Adapted from Real Simple.

• Arrange them decoratively on a serving platter, then pour the dressing over the chiles and peppers.
• Sprinkle the cheese over the pepper mixture and garnish around the edges with the lettuce.
• NOTE: I did not have mexican oregano, so I used epazote, and liked the results very much.
• Other possible substitutions could be savory, regular oregano, thyme, rosemary, or summer savory.
• I used about 2-3 tablespoons of shredded Monterey Jack cheese per serving, and I felt that was the perfect amount.

• You could do the same with regular tortilla chips too, if desired.

MARINATED BOCCONCINI AND ROASTED PEPPER SALAD

Steps:

• Cut peppers into quarters, removing the seeds. Trim the corners off the ends so the pepper lays relatively flat on baking dish (it chars the peppers more evenly!).
• Roast halves under broiler or on grill until skin is blackened, approximately 5 - 8 minutes. (Hint: I usually take each pepper out when done and continue with the rest until all are charred).
• Once removed from the heat, immediately place peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Steam for about 10 minutes (this cools the peppers slightly and makes it easier for the peel to fall off). Uncover and peel off charred skins.
• Combine rest of ingredients and chill for at least 2 hours.
