NAPA CUCUMBER SALAD WITH LEMON ROSEMARY DRESSING



Napa Cucumber Salad With Lemon Rosemary Dressing image

The crunch of the bitterfree cucumbers, the sweetness of the jicama, the mild brassica note of the Napa, and the tang of the fruit combine to make a tasty, well-balanced salad as eye-catching as it is delicious. Lemon and rosemary make a fresh, lively dressing that goes particularly well with meals featuring fish or chicken. Some of the ingredients look a little exotic, but it goes together as easily as an ordinary coleslaw. An excellent choice for picnics and pot lucks. "Cooking" time is chilling time.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 English cucumbers (see note) or 1 armenian cucumber, diced (see note)
1/2 head napa cabbage, thinly sliced
1/4 jicama, cut in julienne strips
1 tart apple, diced
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
salt & fresh ground pepper
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary (very well crumbled)
1 pinch celery seed (see note)
2 tablespoons creme fraiche

Steps:

  • Toss the vegetables and fruit together in a large salad bowl until well mixed.
  • Beat the dressing together well with a fork or a whisk and pour over the salad.
  • Allow to stand in the fridge for 1 hour.
  • Toss again to blend flavors well.
  • Garnish with walnut halves, dried cranberries, and a sprig of fresh rosemary if desired.
  • Note: English cukes and Armenian cukes are longer than standard slicers as well as completely free of bitterness. If you have neither you can substitute ordinary slicing cucumbers that have been peeled and, if necessary, seeded. You'll need about 2-3 cups.
  • Note: The 'Zaar database has several recipes for crème fraiche substitutes. Otherwise try substituting plain yogurt, buttermilk, or mayonnaise after the contest.

Time 12m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 to 4 cloves garlic, peeled, crushed and chopped (2 teaspoons)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 firm head Napa cabbage (about 1 pound)

Steps:

  • Put the garlic in a large salad bowl and mix in all the remaining ingredients except the cabbage.
  • Trim the cabbage, removing and discarding damaged or wilted leaves, and cut the head crosswise into 1-inch slices. You should have about 8 cups. Wash well and spin dry in a salad dryer (moisture would dilute the dressing). Ten or 15 minutes before serving, add the cabbage to the dressing, toss well and set aside, so the dressing can penetrate the cabbage and soften it slightly.
