The dressing on this Fruit Salad from Delish.com is to die for. 

Fruit Salad

c. honey

c. orange juice

strawberries,

blueberries

raspberries

kiwis,

orange,

apples,

mango,

c. grapes

This is an excellent salad. I did eliminate the oranges just because I forgot them, but since there is such a good variety of fruit, it was fine. Although it is simple, the dressing is the best and really makes this salad special. I used some of the left over ( since it does make a lot for 4 people), to put on top of waffles the next morning.  I would definitely make this again.

My gma made this for me once, it's fantastic!

This was a big hit with both adults and kids alike

It was amazing .... Even i tried at my home👍👍

I’ve made this for many occasions.  The bowl is always empty!  Looks pretty and tastes delish!

How to make scallion pancakes! Such an EASY snack or appetizer. Only 4 ingredients. Just like at restaurants!

Scallion Pancakes

garlic powder, optional

soy sauce

rice vinegar

sesame oil

"I’m going to make these with butter; not a vegan sub, if that’s what you were looking for, but should be good"

"I just made this. But the pancakes turned out chewy instead of flaky and crispy. What went wrong? I followed every step. Otherwise the taste is all there. I am not giving up yet ...appreciate some advises. Thanks."

Mix the dough: Add flour, salt and garlic granules to a medium bowl. Stir to combine. Add 3/4 cups of hot water to the flour and stir with a wooden spoon. Continue stirring until all the water has been absorbed by the flour. Don’t worry if the dough has not formed completely yet.

Knead the dough: Using your hands, knead all the bits of dough together inside the bowl. If your dough is still very dry, add a splash of hot water, about 1 to 2 tablespoons, until it comes together and all the flour is absorbed.
Continue kneading the dough for about 2 more minutes. The dough will feel moist but it should not stick to your hands too much.

Rest the dough: Shape the dough into a round ball. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rest for 30 minutes.

Roll out the pancakes: Sprinkle flour on top of a work surface. Divide the dough into 4 pieces of equal size. Work with one piece at a time, leaving the remaining pieces in the bowl.
Shape piece of dough into a small ball. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into a thin circle, about 7 to 8 inches in diameter.

Add the scallions: Brush a thin layer of canola oil on top of the dough, making sure not to miss the edges. Sprinkle sliced scallions all over the dough.

Roll and flatten the pancake: Starting on one end, roll the circle of dough into a log. Take one end of the rolled up dough and curl it toward the center, like a snail's shell. Tuck the end of the dough underneath the spiral.
Use the palm of your hand to flatten the dough into a thick circle. Roll it out again with your rolling pin. Try to roll it out as thinly as possible. A few slices of scallions may pop out during the process, and that’s perfectly normal.
Transfer rolled out scallion pancake to a plate. Repeat steps 4 through 6 with the remaining dough pieces.

Cook the pancakes: Heat about 2 teaspoons of canola oil a small nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium heat.
Place one of the pancakes in the middle of the pan and pan fry each side for about 2 to 3 minutes, until they’re golden brown. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the 3 remaining scallion pancakes, adding more oil to the pan as needed.

Prepare the dipping sauce: Mix all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Adjust the seasonings to your liking, adding more soy sauce or vinegar, if you like. Add any leftover scallions to the dipping sauce, and add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you would like a bit of spice.

Serve the hot pancakes: Cut the scallion pancakes into small wedges and serve while hot, with the dipping sauce. (The pancakes are still good when cooled, but will no longer be crispy.)

"They seemed almost right.   I liked them, but they didn't have quite the texture I am used to (I ate literally thousands of these in Shanghai) they are a bit drier than I am used to.   Also, I think the place I used to get them at baked them a few minutes after frying so that they got an incredible balance of chewy, soft in the middle and crisp but oily on the outside.   Not greasy, but you can taste the oil.  Dang, now I am craving them again...    This is a good starting point so I am going to use this recipe but keep adjusting until I get it the way I remember."

"It tastes okay but it was quite a chore making them.  I also made my dipping sauce too salty; I used soy sauce, ginger, mustard and garlic."

"Really  loved this recipe. I made it tonight for my family and it turned out AMAZING!!! Can't wait to make again!!!!"

Broccoli moves to the center of the plate in this simple yet show-stopping vegetarian main dish.

Broccoli Steaks with Walnut-Raisin Salsa

(about broccoli

olive oil, divided

sherry vinegar

golden raisins

walnuts, toasted and chopped

ricotta salata, crumbled (about 3/4 cup)

garlic clove, grated or minced

Place a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 450°F.

Trim off about 1/2 inch from the bottom of the broccoli stems to remove their dried ends and use a vegetable peeler to peel away the tough, fibrous skin on the outside of the stems to reveal the pale green flesh. Halve each broccoli head from the stem end lengthwise to get 4 halves and place them on a rimmed sheet pan. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and toss gently to coat, rubbing the oil onto the stems. Lightly season all over with salt and pepper. Place the halves, cut-side down, on the pan and roast until browned and caramelized underneath, 25 to 30 minutes. Flip the broccoli and continue to roast until tender, 10 to 15 minutes more.

Meanwhile, prepare the salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar and raisins and let rest for 5 minutes to allow the raisins to plump and soften. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the walnuts, ricotta salata, parsley, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Mix well.

Transfer the roasted broccoli steaks to a serving platter or individual plates. Spoon the salsa generously over the top and serve.

How to make easy, crispy healthy Baked French Fries! The secrets to perfect homemade French fries in the oven, plus how to make French fries crispy again.

Baked French Fries

olive oil (divided)

dill weed

onion powder

Toppings (optional) (fresh parsley, chives, freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Place a rack in the lower third of your oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Drizzle a large rimmed baking sheet with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, brushing it as needed so that it nicely coats the pan.

Scrub the potatoes and peel if desired (I leave the peels on). Slice into 1/4-inch-wide sticks. Place the potatoes in a large bowl, then pour very hot tap water over the top so that it covers the potatoes by at least 1 inch. Let sit 10 minutes.

Drain the potatoes, then transfer them to a clean towel and dry as completely as you can, changing the towel as needed. Rinse and wipe out the bowl you soaked the potatoes in, then return the potatoes to the bowl. Drizzle with the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, dill weed, onion powder, and pepper. Toss to coat, making sure the spices and oil are well distributed. Spread the potatoes into a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Roast in the lower third of the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until turning golden underneath. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and, with a large, firm spatula, carefully loosen the fries from the bottom of the pan. Flip them in large sections as best as you can so that the potatoes rotate and brown evenly on all sides (no need to painstakingly flip every single one). With your fingers (be careful—the pan is hot!) return the potatoes to a single layer. Place the pan back in the oven and continue baking until the fries are as golden and crisp as you like, about 5 to 10 additional minutes (30 minutes total was ideal timing for this crispy-fry lover). While the fries are hot, sprinkle with any desired toppings and a bit more salt to taste. DEVOUR.

Butternut squash is so good on its own, that barely any seasoning is needed. This recipe is so simple and easy.

Simple Roasted Butternut Squash

butternut squash

garlic,

salt black pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).


Toss butternut squash with olive oil and garlic in a large bowl. Season with salt and black pepper. Arrange coated squash on a baking sheet.


Roast in the preheated oven until squash is tender and lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes.


Easiest way to peel a butternut squash:
- Lay on side
- Cut into two halves, separating the "large ball" at the bottom from the "tube" at the top.
- Cut the bottom from the large ball so you have two parallel flat surfaces. Stand the ball on one flat face. Cut slices of skin off, from top to bottom, following the contour of the ball as you make each cut.
- Cut the top from the tube. Stand on one flat end. Cut slices of skin, from top to bottom.
- Only after both pieces are peeled - cut each half in half (top to bottom) to expose seeds, which you scrape out and discard.

Not sure I'd roast butternut squash any other way after making this basic, non-fussy recipe. Winning recipes almost always begin with fresh ingredients and a little seasoning to enhance and complement. This is a winner. Easy to prepare, quick to roast, easy to serve and eat, pretty on the plate, and delicious. I simply added a little fresh chopped parsley to pretty it up.

How incredibly simply perfect.  Really top notch!  By the way, the easiest way to peel a butternut squash is with a plain old vegetable peeler.  Peel it, then cut off the ends, slice down the middle, scrape out the goosh and seeds and then chop it up per your recipe instructions.  Easy peezy!

Peeling tip: Before peeling, wash and poke holes in the squash, then put it in the microwave for 3 minutes. After it cools down a bit, you can easily cut and peel it.

Simplest way to prepare a butternut or any other tough skinned squash is to roast it for 15 minutes, at about 150C, then you can cut it like butter, and the skin comes off very easily!




Another useful tip, to stop raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, grapes etc  from going mouldy!
When you get them home, rinse them in a bowl of water to which you add 2-3Tbs vinegar-any type. Swish very gently, then drain throughly. They don't need rinsing, but you can if you like-then they will keep in the fridge for a week maybe more!

YUM!  This was delicious.

First of all, to the poster who recommended poking holes with a fork and microwaving the squash for 3 minutes, you are a genius of the highest order whom I shall worship for the remainder of my cooking life.  I was trying to explain to my boyfriend how hard it is to peel butternut squash, and I equated it to cutting down a tree with a butter knife - this tip made the job SOOOO easy.  I love you, wonderful poster.

This recipe was so easy and so good.  I made three small changes - I added petite red skinned potatoes to the mix (cut the same size as the squash), added some fresh thyme and roasted the veggies just a bit longer - 40 minutes instead of 25.  

I couldn't stop drooling and neither could my BF.  Definitely a keeper recipe!  Oh, and it tasted great the next day, too.  Yum.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to peel easily.  Everything else was great.

I have roasted butternut squash for vegetable soup recently but I had purchased one from the local farmer's market and needed a side dish with some (soy sauce/lemon juice/garlic/brown sugar) marinaded chicken breasts I planned on grilling.  I removed the skin of the squash and then cubed it.  Then I tossed it with the fresh ground pepper, drizzle of olive oil (probably closer to 1 tblspn), coarse sea salt and minced garlic.  I prepped it around 11am and stuck it in the fridge.  Come dinner time I pulled it out, placed it on a baking sheet lined with foil and baked for 30 minutes at 400 degrees.  It was delicious.  I told my 3 year old son how a local "FARMER" had grown it just for him to eat and he gobbled it up.  Eat great Fall veggies until you are so tired of them and then do it all again next fall.  They are nutritious and delicious and cost effective when in season.  I paid $2.00 for a large squash that will roll over to another meal.  ENJOY!!!  This one is going in the cookbook under "Side dishes" : )

Loved this recipe! Able to stand on it's own with no changes.... Very nice indeed!

A super simple, savory side dish that’s ready in no time.

Roasting broccoli until it is tender and lightly browned will quickly become your favorite way to enjoy it. Simply toss with a few seasonings and pop into a super-hot oven for great results every time.
