Arugula And Steak Salad With French Fry Croutons Recipes

FRENCH FRY SALAD

Steps:

• Toss half a 28-ounce bag frozen shoestring fries with 2 teaspoons each olive oil and chopped rosemary. Spread on a baking sheet and bake at 425˚ until crisp, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, mix 1/2 minced shallot, 3 tablespoons champagne vinegar and a pinch of salt in a large bowl; whisk in 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard. Add 1 chopped head frisee and 1/4 cup chopped chives. Add the fries and 2 ounces crumbled goat cheese, season with salt and pepper and toss.

CHEF'S SALAD WITH KALE AND POTATO CROUTONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Toss the potatoes with the olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt. Bake until the potatoes are browned on the bottom, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, flip the potatoes and sprinkle with the cheese and half of the scallions. Return to the oven and continue baking until the potatoes are golden brown and crisp, 6 to 7 more minutes. Remove from the oven and toss to coat the potatoes in the melted cheese.
• Meanwhile, make the dressing: Whisk the mayonnaise with the chili sauce, the remaining scallions, half of the pickles, and the pickle juice. Toss the kale and iceberg lettuce with half of the dressing in a large bowl. Divide among bowls and top with the tomatoes, roast beef, turkey, potatoes and the remaining pickles. Serve with the remaining dressing.

ARUGULA AND ROASTED FRUIT SALAD WITH PANETTONE CROUTONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Place the panettone cubes on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake until dark golden brown and crispy on the outside, about 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside. The croutons will continue to crisp up as they cool.
• Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Place the fruit in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with melted butter, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and the sugar. Toss to coat and spread the fruit out in a single layer onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake until the pears are tender and the fruit is beginning to brown on the edges, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
• Meanwhile, place the honey, the remaining 1/4 cup lemon juice, canola oil, cream, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a blender. Run the machine until the ingredients are well blended. Set aside.
• To assemble the salad place the arugula greens, roasted fruit, and panettone croutons in a large bowl. Add the salad dressing and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss to coat and serve immediately.

AIR FRYER GLUTEN-FREE CROUTONS

Steps:

• Toss the bread, oil, oregano, garlic, 3/4 teaspoon salt, several grinds of pepper and sage if using in a large bowl to coat evenly.
• Preheat a 6-quart air fryer to 350 degrees F (see Cook's Note). Add the bread in an even layer to the air fryer and cook, tossing halfway through, until golden brown and toasted, 5 to 7 minutes.

MY FAVORITE STEAK SALAD (WITH FRENCH FRIES!!!)

Steps:

• Using 4 dinner-sized bowls, layer the lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, and eggs.
• Take your steaks out of the refrigerator, rub them with olive oil and season with the salt and freshly ground pepper. Leave them out for 30 minutes. This relaxes the meat fibers.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees, or whatever the instructions on your french fries call for.
• At the same time, preheat your grill for about 450 degrees for the steaks.
• After your oven preheats, put your fries in the oven.
• At the same time, put your steaks on the grill. Flip them after 6-8 minutes and cook for an additional 6-8 minutes for medium-rare/medium. Your fries will be done or close to done at the same time as the steaks.
• When done, turn off your oven, season your fries with the seasoned or regular salt. Put the fries on the salads.
• Slice the steak into bite sized pieces and distribute the pieces over the fries.
• Sprinkle the salads with the mozzarella cheese and croutons.
• Pour on the salad dressing in the amount that you desire and toss if you wish.
• Enjoy this delicious all-in-one meal!
