Creamy Cilantro Dressing

Creamy Cilantro Dressing

by Pam on December 10, 2012

I made a very simple tossed salad last night with romaine, grape tomatoes, avocado, green onion, pumpkin seeds, cotija cheese crumbles, and tortilla crisps on top. I didn’t want to use our regular vinaigrette[1] so I grabbed some cilantro and decided to make, instead of my usual Cilantro-Lime Vinaigrette[2], a creamy cilantro dressing. It turned out very flavorful and delicious and we all, except for my son, loved it.  I used lower fat buttermilk, mayonnaise, and sour cream but I am sure it would be tasty with the regular too. I recommend making it at least 30 minutes prior to serving so the flavors have time to mingle. I served this salad with the Black Bean Soup with Bacon[3] and they paired perfectly together.

Blend together the buttermilk, mayonnaise, sour cream, cilantro, jalapeno, green onion, minced garlic, lime juice, cumin, oregano, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste, using an immersion blender until well combined and creamy.  Set aside to let the flavors mingle.

Place some chopped romaine in a serving bowl followed by grape tomatoes, diced avocado, green onion, pumpkin seeds, cotija cheese, and tortilla crisps.  Drizzle the salad with the creamy cilantro dressing then toss to coat evenly.  Serve immediately. Enjoy.

Creamy Cucumber Dill Sauce

Creamy Cucumber Dill Sauce

by Pam on July 17, 2013

This sauce is great as a dip for veggies or crackers, in sandwiches and pitas, or with chicken and pork. I also really, REALLY love it with fish. It’s like a cross between tartar and tzatziki sauce. I really love that it only takes minutes to make but adds such a great depth of flavor to any veggie, sandwich, or meal that you serve it with. Quick, simple, and tasty – I love that!

Combine together in a bowl the mayonnaise, sour cream, cucumber, fresh dill, green onion, lemon juice, minced garlic, and sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Mix until well combined. Place into the refrigerator until ready to use. Enjoy.

Three Bean Turkey Chili

Three Bean Turkey Chili

by Pam on March 18, 2013

We had friends over for dinner on Saturday night and it was a fairly cold & rainy day so I decided to make a big batch of chili. I used ground turkey and turkey Italian sausage for a change and absolutely loved it. My house smelled amazing throughout the day while this chili simmered on the stove. I served this chili with Sweet Honey Corn Bread[1] and my House Salad[2] for a delicious and filling dinner. The adults all really enjoyed the chili and the kids seemed to think it was “okay”.  I had leftovers for lunch today and the flavor was amazing!

Re-hydrate the dried pasilla peppers in very hot water for 20 minutes, or until softened; drain. Remove the stems and seeds of the peppers then dice them up.

Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, garlic, and re-hydrated diced peppers to the Dutch oven. Cook, stirring often, for 3 minutes or until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.

Add the ground turkey and the turkey Italian sausage, removed from casings, to the Dutch oven. Mash the mixture well with a potato masher until it’s in a very small crumble. Add the Chili powder, paprika, cumin, coriander, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix the ingredients well and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring often, until the meat has browned.

Add the chicken stock, tomato sauce, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, pinto beans, black beans, and kidney beans. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Reduce the heat to simmer and place a lid on the Dutch oven. Simmer for 3-4  hours, stirring occasionally.

Before serving, taste and re-season if needed. Ladle chili into bowls and top with sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and green onions. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
