How to Make Great Potato Salad

How to Make Great Potato Salad

Do you have trouble making potato salad? If so, you can be sure there are easy steps to consequent in making it for that hungry crowd. Many citizen don't have a family recipe, or they just make tasteless mistakes along the way and get frustrated. It indeed isn't that hard to make potato salad. These tips should help get you well on your way to pleasing everyone!

Determine first how many citizen will be eating potato salad. Remember, most kids turn up their noses at the conception of anything mushy with potato lumps in it. But men usually heap it on next to their other favorites, so they will eat the portions the kids chose to pass up. Also, potato salad is filling. Many serving sizes are smaller than you think.

Tuna Salad Recipe

Take benefit of the "bags" of potatoes in the store where the potatoes are medium in size. Large potatoes take longer to cook, so they usually must be cut in half. The Idaho white potato provides a great flavor and cook well. Don't make the mistake of using red potatoes since they get too soft and turn mushy. Five potatoes will make salad for about 8 or 9 people. Then, just outline on half of a potato for each added person over 9.

Next, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Tip.....Do Not peel the potatoes. Just add them to the boiling water right out of the bag. Be sure to cut the big ones in half! Boil for about 20 minutes and when a knife sticks through them easily, they are done. Hold the warm potato under cool running water and the potato peeling just falls off! All the flavor of the potato will be in your potato salad.

While the potatoes cool, chop half of a large white onion. In a large bowl, mix the onion, about 1 cup of mayonnaise to start with (I use Miracle Whip), 1/2 cup of sweet pickle relish, 1 tsp. Salt, and a exiguous pepper. Then chop the potatoes as small as you want and throw them on top of the mixture. Mix well and add more mayonnaise as needed to reach the consistency that you like. I usually add more than the 1 cup before it's all done. You can also substitute with fat free products like yogurt, fat free sour cream, or low-fat mayonnaise.

Another ingredient I like to add is chopped, hard-boiled eggs. I use 3 eggs in a batch of potato salad feeding 8 or 9 people. Add the eggs last so they don't get too mushy. Stir it all together and cool before serving. Potato salad is even good if left in the refrigerator overnight before serving. If you are close on time, it's even ok to throw the bowl in the freezer for about 45 minutes to get it cold quick!

Potato salad is a "crowd pleaser". After you make potato salad following these easy steps, you will be able to adjust the recipe indeed for your own taste. Using these easy tips, you won't make mistakes, like peeling away all of the flavor, overcooking the potatoes, or adding ingredients you don't need.

When I cook my potato salad, everyone wants my recipe! This recipe isn't even written down anywhere, until now. So, make this your recipe and enjoy!

Fresh Summer Salads

Fresh Summer Salads

Summer's here and that means sunny days, weekend picnics, warm balmy evenings, beach, surf, sun... And salads!

o Lose weight - head for the salads
o Nutrition bonus
o The Rainbow Rule for antioxidants
o A fast meal for hot days
o How to originate a salad in 3 easy steps
o Don't skip the dressing
o Easy vinaigrette

Summer Salad Recipes

Whether you originate them as a main meal or just as an accompaniment, salads are the perfect way to eat on hot summer days. Your body benefits from the lighter fresher fare and there's no extra heat from cooking in your kitchen. They're perfect for easy casual bright or a quick hot weather stand-by.
Lose weight - head for the salads

Salads are ideal if you're trying to lose weight. With their high fibre and water content, you can fill up with a huge plate and yet have eaten only 420 kilojoules (100 calories).
You get a big volume for few kilojoules - something dietitians call a low "kilojoule density" - which is the opposite of most junk food.

When you eat out, it's a good idea to order a salad as a first course. Study shows that you'll feel fuller and are less likely to overindulge at that meal.

These days, chefs are right into the gastronome salad trends with offerings such as rocket, pear and walnut salad, or a Vietnamese salad strong in mint and coriander or even a parsley, red onion and pomegranate
Nutrition bonus

As you'd expect, salads add a health bonus to your nutritional intake as they are ordinarily low in fat and kilojoules. They are rich in fibre and key vitamins along with vitamin C, vitamin B1, B6 and folate (a B vitamin that can reduce the risk of birth defects) with smaller quantities of vitamins E and K.

There are abundance of valuable minerals such as potassium (which helps counteract our high salt intake) and magnesium; and lesser quantities of zinc, calcium, iron and selenium.

Because most of the ingredients are eaten raw, heat-sensitive vitamins such as vitamin C, vitamin B1 and folate are not affected so it maximises the nutritional value over cooked vegetables.

And salads help you get those recommended 5 serves of vegetables and 2 serves of fruit each day.
The Rainbow Rule for antioxidants

Salads are a great way to ensure you get abundance of antioxidants - natural plant compounds that safe the body and slow the aging process. For top antioxidant value, use the "Rainbow Rule" and go for lots of colour, adding red tomatoes, bright carrots or capsicum, purple onion, fresh corn, beetroot and even fruit such as grapefruit or orange segments, melon or apples.

The pigments are normally antioxidants so "eating by the rainbow" maximises your intake.
With lettuces, the darker leaves are the best such as dark oak leaf, mignonette, purple radicchio, coral, baby spinach leaves or rocket. Fresh herbs are particularly rich in antioxidants so use basil, parsley, mint or coriander as often as you can.

A fast meal for hot days

When the climatic characteristic soars, a salad can fast come to be a faultless main meal by tossing in:
o a can of tuna or salmon
o cooked chicken pieces or cold lean meat strips
o a can of three-bean mix or chick peas, drained
o cheese like bocconcini, fetta, goats cheese or grated parmesan
o hard boiled eggs
o prawns

and serving with grainy bread rolls or toasted Turkish bread.

How to originate a salad in 3 easy steps

To build a tasty and bright salad:

1. Start off with a layer of lettuce. You can tear up a whole lettuce, or buy mixed leaves (mesclun) or a bag of washed and pre-packed leaves (check it's fresh with no brown wilted leaves).

2. Add interest with any of these salutary ingredients:

o tomatoes (vine-ripened, cherry, egg or yellow tear drop)
o cucumber
o capsicum
o grated or thinly-sliced carrot
o button mushrooms
o snow peas or sugar snap peas
o sprouts
o steamed green beans, asparagus or cauliflower
o chopped shallots or purple onions
o char-grilled sweet potato, eggplant, zucchini or other vegetables
o diced avocado
o fresh herbs like coriander, mint or basil

3. Add protein from tuna, chicken, eggs or cold meats. Or barbecued chicken or lamb fillets sliced and served hot over the salad.

4. Just before serving, drizzle over the dressing.
Don't skip the dressing

Salad dressings may not seem like much but they pack a great punch for good nutrition. And they make a salad taste so much good which means you enjoy it more!

There's no need to buy no-oil dressings even if you're watching your weight. Just a splash of oil with lemon juice is all you need, just sufficient to moisten the ingredients. Don't drown the salad in it!

The small quantity of oil they supply - from extra-virgin olive oil, canola oil or walnut oil - is not heated. This means that salad dressing is the best way to consume those "healthy" unsaturated fats and vitamin E. The fat from the oil, the fat-soluble vitamins and antioxidants are bioavailable - which means that that they enable you to suck up a lot more nutrients such as beta-carotene, lutein and lycopene from raw foods.
The acidity of a dressing from lemon juice or vinegar is foremost too. It slows down the rate of digestion which leaves you feeling fuller for longer, a big help to dieters.

Easy vinaigrette

Make your own dressing, it's quick and economical. Best of all, you get a capability oil and you don't get the extra salt and additives from industrial salad dressings. Here's how:

In a screw top jar, portion out:
o 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
o 1 tablespoon lemon juice (or use white or red wine vinegar)
o 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
o plus a few grinds of black pepper.

Shake well until mixed, drizzle over your salad, toss and serve.

Makes sufficient for a salad for 4 or 6 people.

healthy Weight Loss - Is Salad a Good Food Choice?

healthy Weight Loss - Is Salad a Good Food Choice?

Most every person knows salads are healthy and a good food choice for healthy weight loss. One of the simplest and most effective ways to take weight off and keep it off is to eat nutritious food, drink abundance of water and rehearsal regularly.

Doctors and health professionals recommend:

Chicken Salad

o Eating more fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy foods

o Cutting back on foods that are high in saturated fat, cholesterol and total fat

o Eating more whole grain products, fish, poultry, and nuts

o Eating less red meat and sweets

o Eating foods that are rich in magnesium, potassium, and calcium

Notice that a raw salad is not included in the list above. For your information, the truth is that a salad is not always your best choice for a healthy way to weight loss.

Consider This:
A chicken salad loaded with salad dressing, croutons, cheese, and chicken comprise over a 1,000 fat and about 66 grams of fat. On the other hand, a charcoal grilled chicken organery salad with fat-free dressing has only 200 fat and 4 grams fat.

It's the salad dressings that make the distinction in the middle of a healthy and nutritious salad and one loaded with extra calories. Yes, it sure does taste good but it does not help your goal of losing weight in a healthy way.

So what does a healthy salad contain?
Healthy salads comprise a range of vegetables that always comprise dark leafy greens like green lettuce, spinach, and fresh herbs. Remember, the darker the leaf, the more cusine it has. You can safely add tomatoes, shredded carrots, broccoli, scallions, mushrooms, red bell peppers, roasted vegetables or your other beloved vegetables. However, No salad dressings or sauces are allowed.

To add some healthy fat, sprinkle your salad with a little avocado or chopped nuts. Be just about the portions of restorative but high-calorie food. Use small amounts.

Without a doubt, salad dressing can spell disaster if you use too much of the wrong kind. For a lower-calorie salad, dress it with a tablespoon or two of light vinaigrette or a little heart-healthy olive oil. My beloved is olive oil, lemon or lime juice and a little raw honey.

Follow these tips to create a delicious salad that is satisfying, low in calories, high in fiber, and full of nutrients. It will promote healthy weight loss and heighten your health and wellness.

Tuna calories - Is Tuna Good For Your Diet?

Tuna calories - Is Tuna Good For Your Diet?

When going on a diet we have to be more selective about the things we put in our mouth. And if we want to lose weight we should be extra mindful on the estimate of fat that we consume. That's why I want to talk about tuna. Canned tuna fish has been around for over a century and fast became very popular. Nowadays, you can find tuna in other forms, like in sushi, but that is a distinct type of tuna fish. The kind that I'll divulge here is Albacore tuna which is regular white tuna you will find canned in the local grocery store. Like other fish, tuna contains a high level of protein, which makes it a good substitute for fatty meats in your diet.

he major unlikeness you have to make is that there is a big unlikeness between tuna canned in water and tuna canned in oil. As you will see, tuna fat count is much higher when canned in oil. Let's divulge some cusine data: A serving of canned tuna in water has almost 90 fat per can (which is 165g, manufacture it about 55 fat per 100g). Out of these 90 calories, only 10% come from fat and none of it is saturated (Saturated fat is the kind of fat that you want to avoid in order to forestall heart problem and artery blockage). All the rest of the 90% come from proteins, About 20g of proteins in a can, which is leading to keep your body salutary and functioning (especially if your working out).

Tuna Salad Recipe

Tuna canned in water has almost no carbs what so ever. On the other hand, a serving of canned tuna in oil has almost 330 fat per can (about 200 fat per 100g) even after removing the oil. This includes 14.4g of fat (about 20% percent of it saturated). If this sounds not as good that is because that it of course is not. When canned in oil the tuna fat are much higher. That is why tuna canned in water is much preferable for diet meal (even though it commonly is a itsybitsy more expensive). Tuna fat count is also lower then other sorts of meat. For example: Fried beef steak fillet has 316 fat per serving (170g).

Grilled bacon (not even fried) has 260 fat per 100g. Tuna, as well as other fish, have a relatively high mercury count. But that shouldn't concern you, It's much too low for it to be harmful (you need to eat more then 10 cans for it to be potentially harmful). Also some tuna products are rich with omega 3 which is also good for you. I won't information it here because it's not our main issue, But Omega 3 is used for many purposes and is carefully to be very healthy. Tuna can be eaten as a side dish alone, in a salad, and even made into a burger. There are fullness of great recipes online that consist of tuna. fat should be a concern of course. Don't use recipes that consist of fatty or calorie rich ingredients such as regular mayonnaise or white bread.

Conclusion: tuna fat count is low adequate to be relevant for your diet. It also has other leading nutrients that are leading for a dieter. Just make sure you pick tuna canned in water!

Bon-appetite! And good luck!

The dissimilar Kinds Of Salad Dressings

You would initially think that salad dressings are all the same, that the dressing for a single salad tastes good once mixed with a distinct salad.

Once done, just gain of a few tablespoonfuls for your yard salad, the remains can be used for later use.

Things will be distinct for parsley dressing. You will be needing, not one, but three tablespoons of olive oil; two tablespoons of lemon juice and another two for chopped parsley; and ¼ of a teaspoon that holds onion powder. Once you are done making ready the ingredients you need for you self-made parsley dressing, beat the olive oil, lemon juice and onion powder well. Afterwards, add the chopped parsley.

The ingredients do not turn if you want to make a peppercorn dressing, but you just need to add up 1/8 of a teaspoon of white pepper.
