Watercress And Apple Salad With Peanut Yogurt Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk dressing and mustard until blended.
• Combine remaining ingredients in large bowl.
• Add dressing mixture; mix lightly.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the apples and lemon juice. Add the grapes, celery, and green onions; toss.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, yogurt, apple juice and celery seeds. Spoon over the apple mixture, and toss gently.
• Wash the watercress, and dry thoroughly. Arrange greens on individual salad plates. Mound the apple mixture on top, and sprinkle with the walnuts.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, whipped topping and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Add apples and cranberries; toss to coat. Refrigerate until serving. Sprinkle with walnuts and remaining cinnamon before serving.

Steps:

• In a bowl whisk together the cider, the vinegar, the lemon juice, the mustard, the shallot, the Worcestershire sauce, the thyme, and salt and pepper to taste, add the oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk the dressing until it is emulsified. Let the dressing stand at room temperature for 30 minutes to let the flavors develop. In another bowl toss the apples, cored and cut into 1/2-inch pieces, with 2 tablespoons of the dressing. In a large bowl toss together the endive slices and the watercress with the remaining dressing and divide the watercress mixture among the 6 salad plates. Top the watercress with the apples and the almonds and garnish the plates with the reserved endive tips.

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 10-15 minutes until tender. Drain and halve when cool enough to handle; set aside. Blanch the shelled broad beans and the asparagus in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes. Drain in a sieve and cool under running cold water. Drain again, fish out the asparagus, then peel off the hard outer skins from the beans - make a nick in the tops and pop the beans out. Blanch the shelled peas in a separate pan for 1 minute. Toss the asparagus, beans, peas, potatoes and prosciutto together.
• For the dressing, put all the ingredients in a blender or food processor and blitz until really smooth and bright green. Season with salt and pepper. To serve, toss the salad leaves with a spoonful or two of dressing and arrange on plates. Pile the vegetable mixture on top, season, then drizzle over the remaining dressing and scatter with the pecorino.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the apples, peanuts and whipped topping. Cover and refrigerate until serving.

Steps:

• Cook the eggs in a pan of boiling water for 8 mins. Drain, then cool under running water. Peel the eggs, then cut them into quarters. Heat grill to medium.
• Put the salmon, skin-side down, onto a baking tray, then grill for 4 mins. Turn the fish, add the torn pitta to the grill pan, then cook for 2-3 mins more until the salmon has cooked through and the pitta is crisp and golden. Leave to cool.
• Meanwhile, place the watercress, horseradish and garlic in a food processor, then whizz until finely chopped. Add the yogurt and 3-4 tbsp water, then pulse for a few secs more to make a smooth, pourable dressing. Add a little lemon juice and seasoning to taste.
• Break the salmon into large flakes. Scatter the lettuce over a platter, then top with the egg, salmon and pitta. Drizzle over the dressing, toss and serve.

Steps:

• To make the dressing, tip the hazelnuts into a frying pan, toast until golden, then transfer to the small bowl of a food processor. Whizz for 5-10 mins until they make a smooth paste - the nuts will start to release some of their oil and the paste should look like smooth peanut butter. Add the vinegar, maple syrup, season and blend to combine. With the motor running, pour in 150ml water and continue blending until smooth. Can be kept in the fridge for up to 1 week.
• Cut the apple into really fine matchsticks using a mandolin or sharp knife. Toss in a little of the lemon juice as you go to prevent the apple from turning brown.
• Put the hazelnuts in a shallow dish. Heat the butter in a frying pan until foaming and nut brown. Add the scallops and cook for 1 min on each side, or to your liking, seasoning as they cook. Remove from the pan and roll each scallop in hazelnuts. If cooking for larger numbers, cook the scallops in batches so that you don't overcrowd the pan.
• To serve, spoon a dollop of the hazelnut dressing in the centre of each plate; use the back of the spoon to spread out the dressing slightly. Toss the watercress in the remaining lemon juice and oil, season and place a pile in the centre of each dressing dollop. Arrange the scallops around the watercress and place piles of apple between each scallop. Drizzle with a little oil and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cut apples into 2-inch-long matchsticks, then toss with 1 teaspoon lime juice. Whisk together peanut butter, yogurt, water, salt, and remaining 2 teaspoons lime juice, then toss with apples and watercress.
