Delicious Salads to Try in a Trifle Dish

[bbenton4]

Does anyone have any great salads to do in the trifle other than the ham and pea thing?

 

[debhowey]

there is a 13 page recipe file titled "trifle salads". Just do a search for that.

There was thread on it, and someone put together a booklet. It's in this thread: http://www.chefsuccess.com/showthread.php?t=17842. Look a few posts down.

I've done the Jerk Chicken Salad in the trifle bowl...it's really pretty. Just cut back on the lettuce a little bit.

I just did the BBQ chicken cobb salad (or something like that) which is in the grilling recipe cards. And I did it in the trifle bowl. I thought it looked (and tasted) great!

Waht's the ham and pea thing? I have never heard of this unless you are talking Seven Layer Salad.

I had one at a cluster meeting in April that was delicious. If I get any June shows, I'll be doing it for my demo. It was called a handful salad.

2 bags mixed salad greens
handful of sliced strawberries
handful of sliced red onions
1 can mandarin oranges, drained
handful of candied walnuts
vinegarette salad dressing of any kind

layer 1/2 of each item (not the dressing) in trifle bowl & repeat. Let each person put their own dressing on.

to make the candied walnuts, melt a handful of sugar in saute pan, using enough water to keep a thick syrup consistency. sprinkle cinnamon in syrup, then add walnuts.

it was so yum-o!

1/8 t. oregano 1 pkg. bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup mayonnaise 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup sour cream 2 cans pinto beans (rinsed and drained)
1 env. ranch dressing mix 2 cans corn (drained)Prepare cornbread batter according to package directions. Stir in chilies, cumin, and oregano. Spread in greased 8 x 8 square baker. Bake at 400 for 20-25 minutes. Cool. Meanwhile, use food chopper to chop green pepper, salad scissors to chop tomatoes, and santuko knife to thinly slice green onions. Open corn & beans using smooth-edge can opener, and drain using can strainer. In small-batter bowl combine mayo, sour cream, and dressing mix; set aside. Crumble 1/2 of cornbread into trifle bowl. Layer with half of the beans, mayo mixture, corn, tomatoes, pepper, onions, bacon, and cheese. Repeat layers (dish will be very full) Cover and refrigerate 2 hrs. Can be made 1-2 days ahead.
