Trinculo's Cafe has won the



award!



June 3, 2004

We confess to an almost total disinterest in most greens-based salads -
no doubt a terrible culinary as well as nutritional failing, but there 
it is. Recognizing this, we began monkeying around with ingredients to 
see if we could create something that would please our palate as well as 
add another dimension to our dietary intake.

Here is the result of our research - a delightful summery salad chock-a-
block with green stuff as well as fruit and carbohydrate elements. 
At last - a salad for salad haters! Everyone, including kids and fussy
mothers-in-law, will devour this without reservation.

The Stray Gourmet’s “3-Cup” Salad

1 head freshly washed, dried and torn Boston lettuce
˝ head freshly washed, dried and torn Iceberg lettuce
3 cups frozen baby sweet peas, cooked
3 cups golden raisins
3 cups La Choy Thin Chow Mein Noodles
3 cups sliced almonds
Zingy Parmesan-Pepper Salad Dressing (prepare the day before; recipe below)

Combine the fresh greens together, mixing well.
In a large casserole dish, layer all ingredients, beginning each layer 
with the greens and sprinkling the other dry ingredients generously over 
each layer in the order given. Drizzle the salad dressing over each layer 
as it is completed. Finish with a sprinkling of chow mein noodles and 
almonds on top of the final layer. 
Keep refrigerated and serve as soon as possible after assembling.


Zingy Parmesan-Pepper Salad Dressing

2 ˝ cups mayonnaise
2 TBSP. lemon juice
2-3 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced 
1 TBSP. finely chopped fresh chives 
1 ˝  tsp. fresh coarsely ground black pepper
1 ˝ cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese 
Salt to taste 

Combine all ingredients. Mix well and refrigerate for 24 hours.


This is absolute salad heaven - crunchy, tangy-sweet and full
of good things. Bring this to your next picnic or potluck and
watch it disappear!
