How To Make dinner in a basket by donna godfrey
-
1Clean green beans letting them whole and cook them until they are tender with maybe a bit of crisp.. refrigerate Meanwhile cut each potato in half. In skillet over medium heat, in your oil, cook cut side down, with the rosemary and salt until golden on the bottom. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook until they a fork tender. Cover and refrigerate.....Wipe skillet clean Cut the cod in 6 pieces. Place flour on waxed paper and coat the cod(I use more flour and I always add pepper and garlic too)(I have used other types of fish) Cook the fish in the skillet until brown. (I add more olive oil first) Refrigerate. Cook the chicken ....what I do here is often grill for the family and keep one out...You can do these in the broiler too. Prepare Mustard-Maple dressing Cut the chicken breast in half and than in 3 pieces(each half) Cut honeydew and cantaloupe and thin wedges(with peel off) Cut cheese into 8 pieces Select a large shallow basket (I like to use one with a handle) and cover the inside with foil. Line the basket with the lettuces...than comes the fun! Get out all the things you have cooked and arrange them in a pretty fashion on top...I usually start with the salami in the center. I take each piece and make it look like a flower......just pick up the slice and fold it in half and than half again and poke these in the lettuce. Add the rest of the fruit and meat and vegetables around that in a pretty way.Serve the dressing aside from the salad. This serves 4-6 Maple Dijon Salad Dressing 1 Tablespoon dijon mustard 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar 1/2 cup maple syrup salt and pepper to taste 1 cup olive oil Blend first four ingredients with a wire whisk or food processor. Add oil slowly to emulsify. Adjust to taste. I add 2 tablespoons soy sauce and cracked pepper..... and have used this recipe too but double it. Raspberry Vinaigrette 2 ts Raspberry vinegar 1/2 c Orange juice 1/4 ts Salt 1/4 ts Freshly ground pepper Combine all ingredients in a small jar with a tight fitting lid; shake well. I have used carrots sliced very thin...in the salad part to add color. I have replaced the strawberries with cherry tomatoes....the red adds color and makes it pretty.Several kinds of cheese are good too..........
